Hi,
I wanted to ask if anybody has used docbook to write
chemical reports ?
I will need to formulate reactions and formulas, and
doing math xml by hand is really tedious.
Next I would need to transform this report into xhtml
and pdf.
AFAIK most browsers cannot understand math-xml, so I would
need something to make gifs or equivalents. And finally
turn the report into a pdf.
So:
- who has experience with chemical report
- is it possible to convert math-xml in a docbook file
into a picture for "old" browsers
- can I build a pdf with a free avaible fop renderer ?
- is math xml sufficient for chemical reactions ?
(e.g. organic compounds)
- Would it be wiser and better to use tex ?
Ciao
Jens Skripczynski
