  Until the advent of MathML none in particular.

Element
  equation

Description

An Equation is a formal mathematical equation (with an optional rather
than required title). 

If the MathML Module is used, Equation can also contain the mml:math
element.

Example


<!DOCTYPE equation PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
          "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd";>
<equation><title>Fermat's Last Theorum</title>
    <alt>x^n + y^n &ne; z^n &forall; n &ne; 2</alt>
    <graphic fileref="figures/fermat"></graphic>
/equation>

*********************************************************************

As you can see from this example before MathML it was used text or
graphics for the mathematics.
