Subject: LaTex to MathML
Hi, I am trying to have a nice setup to be able to write math equation within a docbook document. I found this old email (*), which looks ideal. My team knows basic latex equation or at least this is easier to write it by hand than a MathML one. However this old post does not mention the tool used to do the LaTex to Math conversion. Could someone please recommend one ? Thanks ! -Mathieu (*) On Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 3:44 PM, <Justus-bulk@piater.name> wrote: > Dave Pawson <davep@dpawson.co.uk> wrote on Mon, 20 Oct 2008 13:49:51 > +0100: > >> http://www.antennahouse.com/product/mathml.htm >> >> Nikolai has http://www.grigoriev.ru/svgmath/ >> >> I.e. mathml to SVG, then incorporate the SVG into docbook/fo > > There is also Apache FOP with the JEuclid FOP plugin. > > I have used both methods; both have minor quirks but are pretty usable > and give satisfactory results for all of my current needs.
