On a different note, it may be worth pointing out that ConTeXt's
support for typesetting of complicated equations -- that is, the sort
of stuff for which one really wants the AMSmath package in LaTeX --
really isn't especially great; it's pretty much limited to the
capabilities of Plain TeX. I'm currently working (very slowly) on
trying to improve this by doing a port of AMSmath to ConTeXt, but I
have no idea how compatible that will be with ConTeXt's MathML/XML
support, nor when I'd have it to a point where it would be ready for
production work.
The other alternative I know of for doing math in XML is embedding
bits of LaTeX code within the XML. Since most "conversion to non-PDF
formats" involves converting the math to bitmap images anyway (or, at
least, any conversion to HTML for the web does!), I don't think that's
really complicating things much. It's certainly possible in theory to
embed LaTeX-coded equations in ConTeXt, and there's a small bit of
comment on this on the Wiki. In practice, it may take a bit of coding
to make work, but the amount won't be excessive.
there is a math module (m-math) and a new implementation of that (m-newmat) which does quite some ams math;
i have no problem with adding more code but each time i ask for specs, nothing comes up -)
