Subject: Re: [docbook] LaTeX math inside docbook, on-the-fly MathML conversion?

However, you can have the same functionality with equation (for block formulas) or inlineequation (inside a paragraph). For example, an inline equation of Einsteins famous formula could look like: <inlineequation> <mathphrase role="latex">E = mc^2</mathphrase> </inlineequation> > This element should be translated to MathML during processing - either as a > preprocessing step or using xslt commands if possible. > > Can this be done? Or do I have to parse my documents, find all <latexmath> > elements, process their contents with LatexML and write the MathML output > back into the document? Sure. In theorey, it needs a three step process: extract all LaTeX formulas, convert it to MathML (or maybe graphics?), and reinsert it -- or include a reference. How many formulas do you have? Do they change frequently? Well, maybe you don't need such a sophisticated convertion. Perhaps you could reference your MathML formulas with xi:include and do the convertion outside your workflow. Get some ideas by reading Bob's chapter about Math in DocBook at http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Math.html Hope this helps. :) -- Gruß/Regards Thomas Schraitle
