Subject: New user question on the current state of mathml in docbook
Hi, I've just started using DocBook, among other things for writing up my thesis. One of the things I need to be able to write is logical formulae, and I'm aiming to generate both XHTML and pdf output. I've read Bob Stayton's DocBook XSL book, in which chapter 18 suggests that I can embed MathML into equation and inlineequation elements, and use pdftex (PassiveTeX) to generate pdf's from my .fo file. According to the book, PassiveTeX "can handle some MathML markup". So I tried with a simple subscripted variable: <inlineequation> <mml:math> <mml:mrow> <mml:sub> <mml:mi>S</mml:mi> <mml:mi>O</mml:mi> </mml:sub> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> </inlineequation></para> and the pdf output contains SO with no subscript in sight. So my questions are: * what's the state of the art in tools for using DocBook and MathML to generate both pdf and XHTML? Is there a better choice of tools than xsltproc and pdftex? * have I done something silly in the above example, or should it just work? * do I need to do anything to pdftex (e.g. pass any command line args) to get it to process MathML. * is there a list of the MathML elements that pdftex does handle? I'm using: [temp]$ pdftex -version pdfTeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159-1.10b kpathsea version 3.4.5 [temp]$ xsltproc -version Using libxml 20616, libxslt 10111 and libexslt 809 xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20614, libxslt 10111 and libexslt 809 libxslt 10111 was compiled against libxml 20614 libexslt 809 was compiled against libxml 20614 on Fedora Core 3, and I've already tweaked texmf.cnf to stop pdftex running out of memory. Thanks, Ian
