Hi,
I needto display math formulas in a BIRT report.
I'd like to use mathML in a HTML field, but it doesn't work...

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot

You could use http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/ or http://www.mathjax.org/ with client-side JavaScript.

Alexey, thanks for your reply.
I build an example with jsMath and I made it work in Firefox, but the same code isn't processed by BIRT.
I enclosed the file with test code.
I tried for half a day, with no results...

Can you deploy the js file to a web server and use a http reference as a
test?
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://localhost:8090/mywebapp/myjsfile.js"></script>

Hi Jason,
I tried from a local webserver, but it doesn't work.

I think that BIRT html/js engine is not able to elaborate jsMath scripts.

I take a sample html file and:
1. make it process by Firefox in order to have TeX converted to styles&fonts
2. copy the resulting html to BIRT

I succeeded only if I modified the processed file putting inline the styles created on the fly.

I'm thinking about pre processing html server side and afterwards modifying the results, moving styles definition from <style> ... </style> to inline.

Maybe it's a too long way...

Yes I am pretty sure <style> tags in text elements are not added to the
html head, so inline styles is the way to go on text elements.
