PassiveTeX is quite delicate to get up and running. I suggest you make sure you have the latest xmltex and the latest passivetex from Sebastian Rahtz' site, and install them manually if necessary. > Am I right that version 4.3 of DocBook and the 1.65.1 stylesheets > don't work together with PassiveTeX?

To the (great) extent that backward compatibility is maintained between DocBook versions, you can use the 1.65.1 stylesheets with any (later) version of DocBook. I use DocBook 4.3 with 1.65.1 with a customization layer that, among other things, adds support for recent additions to DocBook (<code> etc.). This works for me, including equations. FYI, I code my math as follows: <informalequation> <mediaobject> <textobject role="tex"> <phrase><![CDATA[ \pi_i = P(X_0 = s_i) ]]></phrase> </textobject> <textobject role="html"> <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="texmath-pii.xml"/> </textobject> </mediaobject> </informalequation> where the file "texmath-pii.xml" contains a MathML representation that is generated automatically from the TeX math using ttm (http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/mml/) plus some perl hackery.
