Subject: FW: FW: Please clarify the request to allow inlineequation in label
I should have sent this out earlier. Sorry, things have been very busy around here. In a follow-up eMail, Chris said that he has tested it and what he is asking for works with the current transforms, it just is not valid. I suspect that I would consider the information he is talking about as the title of the Q and A entry, but the info block used in DocBook 5 for qandaentry is the one without a title. I guess it is just a question of semantics ;-) Regards, Larry Rowland --------------------- Begin Forwarded Message --------------------------- Larry Rowland, I'm sorry about missing the first email. I missed it because it was DocBook related and the "personal level" indicator had only one arrow since the email was to me and to another address; I thought it was just a reply to a thread in which I had participated. I wanted to use label to display the inline text: "Minimize f(x)=(x-10)^2" as the label for this question instead of the default 2.2.1: http://test.chris.chiasson.name/Engineering_Optimization/Line_Search_Pro blems.html#pr_1_xMinusTenSquared_qandaentry or, if you have Firefox and the MathML fonts ( http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/ ): http://test.chris.chiasson.name/Engineering_Optimization/Line_Search_Pro blems.html#pr_1_xMinusTenSquared_qandaentry It would be nice to be allowed to have inline math in labels, IMHO. Thank you for being persistent; I'm sure you're quite busy. On 11/29/06, Rowland, Larry <larry.rowland@hp.com> wrote: > Chris, > > I sent this to your gmail account, and haven't seen a reply.
