This LaTeX needs to be converted to MathML, before I can apply my processing tools. My xslt knowledge is a bit lacking especially with external tools. Maybe it is possible to call external converter tools on special tags. I have built docbook-website translator in python. http://source.tree.se/treecutter/ the step Expand xinclude parse text method could work in this case as a preprocessor, but without using the xlinclude tag, but something like : equation role=latexaltCOMPLEX LATEX EQUATION/alt/equation You would have to write a small python program that does something like the routine prepare in https://source.tree.se/git/treecutter.git/blob/HEAD:/treecutter/page.py Where I find xinclude : code = self._doc.xpath(u//xi:include[@parse='text'],namespaces=const.XPATH) you would have to find u//equation[@role='latex'] Then take the text inside the alt tag as input for a Subprocess: exe in your case an external tool : xml = subprocess.Popen(exe,stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) How you move the latex text to the tool of choise you have to think about. Either write a temp file with the content and supply that file in the exe command, or maybe stdin is possible. In my case I have just limited size of input. Then let the tool do the transform to stdout As for Latex to MathML I saw 4 tools here : http://www.w3.org/Math/wiki/Tools I can not make any recommendations regarding tools as I have not used math in docbook much. You can also use an external script as I use. You can see example of xinclude scripts here : https://source.tree.se/git/treecutter.git/tree/HEAD:/xinclude Ex. address.py. Given an address it generates an map and builds xml to present it. There you see how much control you have over generating/validating the mathml. Once the tool is done you take the stdout result, parse it and insert it in the tree again : xstr = etree.fromstring(stdout) # inserting the generated code and remove the xinclude reference idp = c.getparent() idp.insert(idp.index(c)+1,xstr) idp.remove(c) In your case not removing equation but the alt tag or keeping it inserting the mml: tree under equation. It can be that you need to add proper namespacing for python lxml. Now you just have to write the tree to disk, and continue to use your toolchain. vi/emacs docbook.latex.xml python convert.py docbook.latex.xml docbook.mathml.xml ./process docbook.mathml.xml This is the most flexible way to preprocess docbook I have found so far. Python have many libraries that you can use to treat special data. I process images, encrypt data, select data to include using python, but keeping the pure but somewhat expanded docbook at the end. If this method would suit you and if you need more information let me know.

I read about mathphrase. However, this element is only for a linear sequence of symbols. Not for sums, integrals, matrices or multiline equations.

Hello Marco,
Am Donnerstag, 29. Januar 2015, 20:46:30 schrieb Marco Giebel:
[...]
My idea is to include some latexmath element in a document like
para
latexmathsum_{n=1}^infty frac 1 n/latexmath is divergent.
/para
There is no latexmath element in DocBook. 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=latexE = 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
dont 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 Bobs chapter about Math in DocBook at
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Math.html
Hope this helps. :)

SVG can be then inserted into the XSL-FO for PDF output or converted to PNG for HTML. I'm the person behind pmml2svg. I think its output is clearly superior to JEuclid in most cases, mostly because JEclid literally handles stretchy characters by anisotropic scaling of glyphs. Yet I sadly do not eat my own dog food most of the time. The reason is that pmml2svg relies on FOP code handle font metrics, and FOP is currently limited to Unicode plane-0 code points (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-1969), but I often use Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols (1D400–1D7FF). Since my use case for pmml2svg relies on FOP for PDF output, I have had little motivation to remove pmml2svg's dependency on FOP. Moreover, while I think MathML-to-SVG conversion coded entirely in XSLT is cool and fits well into XML workflows, math rendering is not trivial, and MathML keeps evolving, so implementation and maintenance cannot be done without community help. Perhaps it would be better to try to write a MathML-to-SVG converter and/or a FOP math plugin based on an established math rendering system such as Gecko or MathJax. If you want to use inline formulas, you'd need a small hack to pass the baseline shift generated by pMML2SVG (which is stored in the generated SVG) into the XSL-FO attribute. I have a patch for that somewhere; I'll dig it up if you're interested. I am :-) For LaTeX-to-MathML conversion I use TTM (http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/mml/). In the meantime many other converters have appeared (that I have never felt the pressure to try out).
