Hi List,
If I have an inline equation, for example:
"The movement of nodes is calculated with the general equation: Îx =
FmÎt where Îx is the incremental displacement vector, F is the driving
force vector, m is the mobility and Ît is the time increment."
I'm unclear as to the markup I should be using within the XML.
F, m and dt being variables should be wrapped in <varname>? The
synopsis for this element points its application more toward
programming. Is it still appropriate?
What about the equation? Îx = FmÎt. As it's not an image, I can't use
<inlineequation> because there would be no graphic element. Is there a
better way?
Thanks,
Aidan
