Re: [docbook-apps] epub3 mathml rendering

thanks everyone.

I understand that not all ereaders will support mathml; I'm working on a program that can output epub with math as images or as mathml, depending on the ereader target.

In my own post-processing I see that the file extensions get .html instead of .xhtml even though the content is xhtml. Thanks for the tip Stefan.

The two ereaders I am using (calibre and readium) claim to support mathml rendering and I've seen it work intermittently. I need to do more work, and part of that will be to make epubcheck be completely quiet (thanks for that reminder Carlos!)

Once I attain *that* goal I'll report back here.

thanks again,

--Tim

And you haven't yet tested this in hardware readers :-(

While EPUB3 supports MathML most reading devices doesn't yet support
EPUB3. So for now you have to convert equations to images for classic
reading devices. For more recent readers you might have success with
using MathJax _javascript_ library for MathML rendering.
