If you want to expression in exactly that format, you have to
use either MathML or simply use a PNG of the expression. If you will settle
for an equivalent expression, you can use a mathphrase element:
<mathphrase>
(<replaceable>M</replaceable><superscript>1</superscript>-
<replaceable>M</replaceable><superscript>2</superscript>)
/<replaceable>Si</replaceable>
</mathphrase>
I am including some line breaks to make it easier to mail, but
in your source you may not want to have the line breaks. You may or may not
want to use the replaceable element to wrap the alpha values (I don’t know
which are constants and which are variables) as it italicizes them.

Hi Richard,
Thank you very much for the information.
However, I was told that the formula can be expressed with docbook xml elements
without using any MathML tags. I've tried all ways I can think of, but no good.
Could you help me with this?
Best Regards!

Hi,
I'm a beginner of docbook 5. I have difficulty when formatting a math
equation with docbook xml. The equation is a mathematical fraction as
included in the attachment.
Could anyone be kind enough to tell me how to express that equation in
docbook xml?
Many thanks!
