I use the caption element to do something similar to your example.

<title>My Title</title>
<mathphrase>M = (N * C) / 2</mathphrase>

<para>M = An explanation</para>
<para>N = Some more explanation</para>
<para>C = Another explanation</para>
</caption>
</equation>
Thanks for this example Peter.
When I tried this approach, it appeared that all the para's are centered
in the output document (PDF). That's something I'd like differently:
I'd like the three explanations left aligned/indented at the start of
the symbol.
I wonder whether any other docbook elements handle such cases. Or is
that something to be handled by downstream processing (xslt / fop)?
Greetings,
Erik

Hi all,
Many scientific or technical documents explain mathematical formulae like in
the following example (only fixed width fonts will display this example as
intended):
V = I*R (1)
where: V = voltage (volt)
I = current (ampere)
R = resistance (ohm)
My question concerns the latter part, from 'where:' onwards, which explains
the symbols.
What docbook element(s) would you recommend for implementing such an
explanation (maybe considering that it's meant for print output, PDF)?
Thanks for any advice,
Erik Leunissen.
