This script converts the MathML formulas to the altimage present in the images folder

MathML to SVG converter

This converts MathML tags inside any .epub file with SVG elements. This script was designed due to the inability of Kindle e-readers to render MathML elements properly.

Roadmap

This script is not yet finished, the roadmap so far is:

• Use BeautifulSoup4 in each xhtml file in order to find any math tags.
• Convert math elements to img elements using the altimg attribute.
• Convert math elements to svg elements using a known converter (replace previous functionality).
• Use zipfile to extract contents of .epub file and iterate through all of the xhtml files.

The idea is to have equations rendered as LaTeX ones, properly aligned and not inline.

This is only a problema for a very specific book. YMMV depending on the book's structure.
