Hello again,

before I forget it: we must export inline equations to <inlineequation> and 
"displayed" equations to <equation>. Currently, everything is exported to <equation>, 
so that even something trivial like a+b=c will have to be displayed as a separate 
block, instead of "inline".

This is very important as I currently resort to tricks of the type "if there is a 
</para><para> at the end of some line, followed by an <equation>, then that equation 
is actually inline" for 1.2.0, for example.

Actually, it should be easy to determine if the equation is inline: whatever is 
delimited by $ is inline and should be exported to <inlineequation>. The rest is 
<equation> or <informalequation> (which is the same as <equation>, but without a 
title). 

I propose to either use only <equation> for the equations that are not inline (and 
give them automatic titles like "Equation XXX", numbered consecutively, as I currently 
do with the awkscr_math awk script in http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/awkscr_math, 
see also http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/magic-behind-the-math.html ), or give the 
user full control on every equation about how it should be exported to DocBook (with 
or without title, and which one).
