tex.math.in.alt list plain latex tex.math.in.alt TeX notation used for equations If you want type math directly in TeX notation in equations, this parameter specifies notation used. Currently are supported two values -- plain and latex. Empty value means that you are not using TeX math at all. Preferred way for including TeX alternative of math is inside of textobject element. Eg.: <inlineequation> <inlinemediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata fileref="eq1.gif"/> </imageobject> <textobject><phrase>E=mc squared</phrase></textobject> <textobject role="tex"><phrase>E=mc^2</phrase></textobject> </inlinemediaobject> </inlineequation> If you are using graphic element, you can store TeX inside alt element: <inlineequation> <alt role="tex">a^2+b^2=c^2</alt> <graphic fileref="a2b2c2.gif"/> </inlineequation> If you want use this feature, you should process your FO with PassiveTeX, which only supports TeX math notation. When calling stylsheet, don't forget to specify also passivetex.extensions=1. If you want equations in HTML, just process generated file tex-math-equations.tex by TeX or LaTeX. Then run dvi2bitmap program on result DVI file. You will get images for equations in your document. This feature is useful for print/PDF output only if you use the obsolete and now unsupported PassiveTeX XSL-FO engine. tex.math.delims, passivetex.extensions, tex.math.file For how-to documentation on embedding TeX equations and generating output from them, see DBTeXMath.
