Subject: Re: [docbook] Which docbook element to use for a mathematical formula explanation?
I use the caption element to do something similar to your example. <equation> <title>My Title</title> <mathphrase>M = (N * C) / 2</mathphrase> <caption> <para>M = An explanation</para> <para>N = Some more explanation</para> <para>C = Another explanation</para> </caption> </equation> Peter On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 12:51 PM, Erik Leunissen <e.leunissen@hccnet.nl> wrote: > Hi all, > > Many scientific or technical documents explain mathematical formulae like in > the following example (only fixed width fonts will display this example as > intended): > > > > V = I*R (1) > > > where: V = voltage (volt) > I = current (ampere) > R = resistance (ohm) > > > > My question concerns the latter part, from 'where:' onwards, which explains > the symbols. > > What docbook element(s) would you recommend for implementing such an > explanation (maybe considering that it's meant for print output, PDF)? > > Thanks for any advice, > > Erik Leunissen. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: docbook-unsubscribe@lists.oasis-open.org > For additional commands, e-mail: docbook-help@lists.oasis-open.org >
