Please help me understand better what you want to do here.
I'm not familiar with the OpenOffice math format --
is it the same as MathML ? is it something else?
There is some code for converting Maxima expressions to MathML
in the maxima/share directory.
If the format is something else, but it is not too different from TeX,
it may be possible to modify up the TeX functions so that the OpenOffice
format is output instead. The tex function looks at properties assigned
to symbols to see what it should print for each one -- if the properties
were changed, the output would be different.
I look forward to your reply --
Robert Dodier
