Re: [docbook-apps] Multiline equations with DocBook 5.0 (and more)

Hi,
I don't have a solution for you, but I'm not quite understanding your solution in 
DocBook 4.5.  As I read the DTD, only one informalequation is permitted inside 
equation:

<!ELEMENT equation %ho; (blockinfo?, (%formalobject.title.content;)?,
                         (informalequation | %equation.content;))>


How did you get multiple informalequation elements without customizing the DTD?
