Hi Steffen,

I discovered this about 3 days ago.
if you use the dbtexmath stuff with dvi2bitmap-0.13b2 : 

given markup like this:

<inlineequation><alt role='tex'>\( (\Matrix{W}_1,\Vector{w}_1)\) </alt>
        </inlineequation>

combined with an appropriate math.xsl customization, can lead to a 
tex math file with the contents:

\documentclass[leqno,11pt]{revtex4}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{concmath}
\newcommand{\Vector}[1]{\mathbf{#1}}
\newcommand{\Matrix}[1]{\mathbf{#1}}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\allowdisplaybreaks
\noindent\special{dvi2bitmap mark}
\special{dvi2bitmap outputfile equations/2.1-inl-11.png}
\( (\Matrix{W}_1,\Vector{w}_1)\) \newpage

which with a Makefile containing the following

IMAGEFORMAT=-T png

DVIOPT= ${IMAGEFORMAT} --magnification=2 --scale=2 --font-mode=ibmvga \
      --resolution=110 --colors=foreground=50/50/50

latexequations:  tex-math-equations.tex
        -latex tex-math-equations.tex
        ${DVI2BITMAP} ${DVIOPT} --verbose=quiet --query=bitmaps 
tex-math-inlines | \
        awk '{printf "img[src=\"%s\"] 
{margin-bottom:%dpx;}\n",$$2,$$6-$$4}' > \
        inline-equations.css

then include the inline-equations.css as an extra stylesheet for your 
document

Thats the general idea anyway.
cool or what?

hope it helps
Doug
