MathML to PDF

MathML to PDF

[Elena Fraboschi]

Dear All:

I write this with my tail between my legs, because I am positive that, if
I looked around in the archives etcetera, the information would be there.
So, with apologies (no laziness here, just inordinate haste), could anyone
drop me a URL or two that might answer the needs explained below?  No need
for anyone to waste time writing: just toss me the URL! :-)

What I need
===========
The IUMJ abstracts are in MathML.  Sometimes we luck out and the rendition
is just fine.  Sometimes (for example, when using something as simple as
$\sqrt{2}$), the browsers ability to read perfect MathML is atrocious.
Solution:  use ConTeXt to convert MathML to perfect PDF's.  And the
best URL to learn and do just that is...

Many thanks, hope to contribute something soon, best, elena

Hi Elena,

I've never used mathml in context, but afaik you can just type/include
the mathml source in your context documents. See the docs at

http://context.aanhet.net/show-man-16.htm

at Taco's mirror (pragma is down?).


Taken from page 87 (89)...

\usemodule[mathml]

\starttext
\startXMLdata

<math>
  <apply><cos/>
    <ci>x</ci>
  </apply>
</math>

\stopXMLdata
\stoptext


Hope that helps,

Peter
