The two cases I cited (Apple Books and Thorium Reader) didn't render the ePub example downloaded from the calibre info page. And I want it to work on eInk.
I had been trying to do things with straight HTML with some success (okay for algebraic), but am running into expressions that are not amenable to that.
MathML may not be very user friendly, but given my self imposed requirements, I'd rather learn and work with that instead of TeX (if that's the only alternative). I need some auto-completion so I'll probably use VS Code w/MathML extension to compose things and then paste them where needed.
This 'project' started out as a Topaz-format book. You can imagine how awful conversion to ePub is and what there is to clean up. But it is a great learning exercise.
