Thank you.

Unfortunately, I didn't find any information concerning pricing on the RenderX 
website.  How much is it?

In addition, XEP's problem is that it doesn't handle MathML.  So you probably 
have to rely on MathML-to-SVG converters which produces this funny "formula 
output which looks like it would appear in your children's 
excercise-books". :)

I already tried it.  In my previous e-mail I talked about missing author 
lines.  Absence or the author line was exactly the problem I experienced with 
DB2LaTeX as soon as I started to try it.  So it falls under the category 
"unusable" if nobody can tell me how to get rid of this problem and if not 
lots of similar problems appear.
