There are two packages - both only convert maxima output to mathml.
1. package:
produces presentation and content mathml:
(%i1) load("load-mathml.lisp")$
(%i2) x^2+x+1;
PRESENTATION-EXP
<math xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'>
<mrow>
<msup><mi>x</mi><mn>2</mn></msup><mo>+</mo><mi>x</mi><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn>
</mrow>
</math>
CONTENT-EXP
<math xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'>
<apply>
<plus/>
<apply>
<power/><ci>x</ci><cn type="integer">2</cn>
</apply>
<ci>x</ci><cn type="integer">1</cn>
</apply>
</math>
END-EXP
2. package:
works mostly like the tex function.
(%i1) load("mathml.lisp")$
(%i2) mathml(x^2+x+1);
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">; <msup><mrow>
<mi>X</mi> </mrow> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>+</mo> <mi>X</mi>
<mo>+</mo> <mn>1</mn> </math>
(%o2) false
Or output mathml into a file:
(%i3) mathml(x^2+x+1, "output.xml");
(%o3) false
As you can see the second package has not been updated to work with
case sensitive maxima - it is not hard, I will do it before the next
release.
