I think youâd have to modify the pipeline to do that.

Right. You need a tool to do CSS printing. I believe you can use
either AntennaHouse or Prince, but I confess I havenât tried anything
but AntennaHouse recentluy.

You can put MathML in an inlineequation. Successful output is going
to depend on a processor that can render MathML, of course.

If youâve got a tool that can turn MathML into bitmaps, you could
construct a pipeline to do that, I expect.

In the browser, yes. I donât think thereâs a solution for doing it in
print at the moment.
