color=#0000ff size=2>You can display a pretty fair number of math symbols using
HTML. I just tested displaying the Sum (sigma) symbol, and infinity
using &#8734; and &#931;, respectively, in Xerte and both symbols
were displayed. There are many more symbols available, but I only tested those
two. You have to use the numeric entity reference, the named references don't
seem to be supported.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Funnily enough we have the same issue on a current
project. We want to develop content for engineering that needs to make a lot
of use of mathematical expressions. Currently the only way to do it in Xerte
is to use some other tool to render the expression and then take a screenshot
and use the image in Xerte. This is fine if the number of expressions is
relatively low, but in our case we'd like to dynamically generate the
expressions and render them at runtime. There is no MathML support in Flash
natively, and I've not found a good component for rendering MathML or
LaTeX that I could wrap. If anyone is aware of a good MathML / LaTeX
component, please let me know. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
