Subject: Re: [docbook] HOW TO: format formula in docbook 5
Hi, > However, I was told that the formula can be expressed with docbook xml elements > without using any MathML tags That statement is not correct. DocBook has only an element named <mathphrase> which can contain any mix of: #PCDATA|inlinemediaobject|remark|superscript|subscript|xref|link|olink|anchor|biblioref|alt| annotation|indexterm|phrase|replaceable|emphasis So you could use it for very simple math text such as: E = mc<superscript>2</superscript> While DocBook does not have any means of expressing more complex mathematics, it can work with MathML.

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?
