[?DO WE NEED TEX AS AN OPTION IN FORMULA? DOES FORMULA NEED FIXED AND FLOATING?]
A mathematical formula. MATH below indicates that a MathML math element should be used. Until further notice, we require MathML to be marked up using 'Presentation markup' rather than 'Content markup'. The documentation for MathML Presentation markup can be found at http://www.w3.org/TR-MathML/chap3_1.html[?MORE?]
See the special topic Math and formulae for examples of math tagging in DTD 4.
