DOCBOOK: inline numbered headwords

["Javier J." <javierj_es@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

In order to 'recycle' some LaTeX formulae, 
should i use DBTeXMath [1] to embed those
equations in my DocBook source files ? 
What do you think are currently 'the best' 
approaches ?

Should i customize DocBook in order to 
deal with 'theorem', 'proposition', 
'corollary', 'definition','demostration', 
'observation' and related headwords ? 
There exists another DTDs more appropriate than 
DocBook ? 
Would you mind showing me some code examples ?

How can i get autonumbering at those inline 
headwords ? I have in mind a traditional 
scheme, like this one [2]:

  Chapter 3 - Convex Hulls: Basic Algorithms
  Definition 3.1 - Given k distinct points ... 
     p = a[1]p[1] + ... + a[k]p[k]      (3.1)
     ...
  Definition 3.2 (The affine hull) - Given a 
  subset L of ...
  Propositon 3.3 [McMullen-Shepard(1971)] - The 
  convex hull ...
  Theorem 3.4 (Sorting is almost linear in time) - 
    ...
    Proof. ...
  Corollari 3.5 - Consecutive ...
  ...
  Chapter 7 - Intersections
  ... Theorem 3.4 shows ...

How can i get that a formal equation just 
appears as 
   p = a[1]p[1] + ... + a[k]p[k]        (3.1)
instead of
   Equation 1
   p = a[1]p[1] + ... + a[k]p[k]     ?

I have a 'Windows 2000' + 'Cygwin' environment [3].

I was stuck debating between MSWord - employed 
initially because its capacity of 'autonumbering' 
(SEQ field), 'cross-reference' (REF field), and 
'easy-of-learning' - and LaTeX; but i heard that 
using DocBook and XML technologies could be an
improvement.

I am a novice. 
Any help will be welcome.
