Here's how the stem conversions in DocBook work:

asciimath block

If the asciimath gem is available...

The source expression is converted to MathML and inserted directly inside the <equation> or <informalequation>, depending on whether or not a title is specified.

<informalequation>
<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">...</mml:math>
</informalequation>

TIP: Apache FOP will process the MathML if the JEuclid library and fop plugin are available.

If the asciimath gem is not available...

The source expression is wrapped in a <mathphrase> element and inserted directly inside the <equation> or <informalequation>, depending on whether or not a title is specified.

<informalequation>
<mathphrase><![CDATA[...]]></mathphrase>
</informalequation>

Both dblatex and Apache FOP will display the value of the <mathphrase> element.

WARNING: dblatex displays the <informalequation> element inline instead of block when the <mathphrase> is used.

NOTE: <alt> element is not used in either of these cases since dblatex assumes that the <alt> element contains LaTeX source.

latexmath block

Passes the source expression through in the <alt> and required <mathphrase> elements, which are inserted directly inside the <equation> or <informalequation>, depending on whether or not a title is specified.

<informalequation>
<alt><![CDATA[...]]></alt>
<mathphrase><![CDATA[...]]></mathphrase>
<informalequation>

NOTE: dblatex will process the <alt> text as LaTeX math.

inline asciimath

Uh oh!
