Re: [docbook] literallayout equation

["Chris Chiasson" <chris@chiasson.name>]

After a few off-list emails, Mr. Dick Hamilton has traced the
invisible MathML inside of <literallayout>s to line breaks that occur
inside the <math> element. The stylesheets are inserting <br> tags
inside the MathML which confuses FireFox, making the MathML invisible
(though still accessible via right click + view MathML). Apparently,
this behavior would be rather difficult to modify. Since I generate my
equations with a script, I will be changing my script to not use any
line breaks in its XML output.

My thanks to Mr. Hamilton!
