Re: [docbook-apps] docbook + MathML + FOP

Do you have some example output? I've tried it this way too but the
result wasn't very satisfactory. I needed the formulas inline and in
this case it wasn't formatted / typeset correctly - the font for the
formulas was apparently bigger than the surrounding text and it didn't
align the baseline - so that for example a subscript in the formula was
on the baseline of the surrounding text not under it as it should I
guess. See the attached picture - for example the S_c.

I used JEuclid to produce SVG output from my input MathML, and then I sent the SVG to FOP (as parts of a software manual, so mixed with much other content).
