Formatting mathematics

["D. Michael McFarland" <mcfarlan@xxxxxxxx>]

A colleague and I are writing an engineering text, heavy on figures
and mathematics.  We have a few sample chapters done in LaTeX, and
need to decide whether to continue with that or switch to SGML.  My
co-author is willing to learn to mark up text in either, but not both.
I'd like to use DocBook so we can generate both HTML and print
versions.

My biggest concern is support for mathematics, especially via jadetex.
Searching the archive turned up a few threads, about a year old, from
which I gather this is a developing area.  Could someone please bring
me up to date on the state of the art?

My apologies if this is a FAQ, or one of those topics that simply
annoy people. :-)  I've had bad luck with the latter lately.
