open math is normally converted to presentational or content mathml
for conversion, content mml (or openmath) would be best since they retain the
structure cq. mathematical concepts while for tex/presentation mml it's a kind
of gamble what the formula represents
we currently are involved in a project where math is dealt with as follows:
- open math for complex math (converted to content mml)
- simple inline elements for things like variables, numbers, coordinates (this
makes entering easy); this is converted automatically to open math and from
that to content mml [the open math is needed for web based variants of the math
method]
- optionally we will provide methods for entering math in calculater math syntax
- there is a plugin model (on top of content mml) that permits cultural
enhancements
[we document this in a manual that is put alongside the mml ones on the
website; an ongoing effort]
conversion is automatic using the ctx features of texexec
the content is edited in a scite based environment, by the authors themselves
[high quality pdf as well as highly interactive and dynamic math in html are
the outcomes]
