Hello,
regarding the CDATA or not CDATA inside equations if I try to insert an
inequality inside the equation the docbook output is:
...
<alt>\[
E<mc^{2}\]
</alt>
...
without the CDATA jade complains:
jade:f1.sgml:33:4:E: character "^" not allowed in attribute specification

jade:f1.sgml:33:4:E: element "MC" undefined
jade:f1.sgml:36:11:E: end tag for "EQUATION" which is not finished
don't you get this?

That makes sense. I will need to ask André how to do this as it should be
trivial. :-)

I think then that the best option would be to distinguish between inline
and informal equations.

How do you propose to represent the equation?
Note that I have suppressed the output of <math></math> for the sgml
version now.
