Re: [docbook] HOW TO: format formula in docbook 5

[David Gao <gao_jianmin@vanceinfo.com>]

Hi Richard,

Thank you very much for the information.

However, I was told that the formula can be expressed with docbook xml elements without using any MathML tags. I've tried all ways I can think of, but no good. Could you help me with this?

Best Regards!

Hi,

I'm a beginner of docbook 5. I have difficulty when formatting a math
equation with docbook xml. The equation is a mathematical fraction as
included in the attachment.

Could anyone be kind enough to tell me how to express that equation in
docbook xml?


Many thanks!

I would suggest using MathML.
