So does MathML. Tbh I have not tried formulae out with PrinceXML. >> I hate editing anything without vim & git. > You can edit docbook with vim and git; it's not docbook's fault if > there's no nxml equivalent for vim ;-) I was referring to http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/ here. _______________________________________________ debian-live-devel mailing list debian-live-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel
