--> Quick and dirty solution:
[1] Edit XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/common.incl and modify
cfg:preserveSpace as follows:
---
<cfg:preserveSpace xmlns=""
elements="address funcsynopsisinfo classsynopsisinfo
literallayout programlisting screen synopsis
equation/alt" />
---
(More info in
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/preserveSpace.html)
[2] Edit XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/css/docbook1.imp and add
the following "equation > alt" rule just after the stock "alt" rule:
---
alt {
font-size: small;
background-color: #EEEEFF;
}
equation > alt {
white-space: pre;
}
---
--> Easy to maintain solution (i.e. which survives XXE upgrades):
integrate the aboves changes in a customization of the DocBook
configuration. How to do this is explained here:
