thanks everyone. I understand that not all ereaders will support mathml; I'm working on a program that can output epub with math as images or as mathml, depending on the ereader target.
In my own post-processing I see that the file extensions get .html instead of .xhtml even though the content is xhtml. Thanks for the tip Stefan. The two ereaders I am using (calibre and readium) claim to support mathml rendering and I've seen it work intermittently. I need to do more work, and part of that will be to make epubcheck be completely quiet (thanks for that reminder Carlos!) Once I attain *that* goal I'll report back here. thanks again, --Tim On Tue, Jul 1, 2014 at 4:01 AM, Jirka Kosek <ji...@kosek.cz> wrote: > On 30.6.2014 20:35, Tim Arnold wrote: > > However, the MathML is not rendered in either Readium or Calibre.
