equations questions
Hello --
I'm trying to include some simple equations in a docbook 4.4 document
and xsl. I don't think I need MathML since I can do what I want with
character entities and <superscript>, et. al.
The problem I'm having is that <equation> doesn't seem to work... In
the following snippet, the informal equation appears but the formal
one doesn't:
<informalequation id="pythagoras" xreflabel="Equation 0">
<mediaobject>
<textobject>
<simpara>x<superscript>2</superscript> +
y<superscript>2</superscript> = z<superscript>2</superscript></
simpara>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
</informalequation>
<equation id="three">
<title>Three</title>
<mediaobject>
<textobject>
<simpara>1+1=3</simpara>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
</equation>
The html output has the title for the formal equation, but not its body:
<div class="informalequation"><a name="pythagoras"></a><div
class="mediaobject">
<p>x<sup>2</sup> + y<sup>2</sup> = z<sup>2</sup></p></div></div>
<div class="equation"><a name="three"></a>
<p class="title"><b>Equation 1.1. Three</b></p>
<div class="mediaobject"></div></div>
Is this a bug, or am I doing something dumb?
On a related topic, is it possible to put the title of an equation on
the same line, but to the right? I'd really like to have an just
automatically generated equation number, like this:
x^2 + y^2 = z^2 (1.1)
and references to it like this: Eq 1.1.
I'm using docbook 4.4, saxon, and the latest xsl stylesheets.
Many thanks,
Steve
