This is the main issue. I am so far aware of just two ways to get quality typesetting from MathML, 1) convert to TeX or 2) use one of the big commercial systems like 3B2. Converting just bits of MathML to TeX seems easy enough, but what about processing whole XML+MathML+SVG documents? I looked briefly and that seems like a very steep hill to climb. I've never used 3B2/APP and can't even find detailed documentation online. Of course, I couldn't afford it anyway. I was hoping someone could tell me how to get better results from the free or cheap(er) systems. > If word is an option, as you say, Good heavens, no. I wouldn't want to work with MS Word or its file format. I just meant that I was satisfied with the look of its math typesetting. By contrast, equation rendering in OpenOffice is IMO too rough. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own
