Liblouisxml will handle bare equations in MathML. This is already done
by an application from ViewPlus. Use the function lbx_translateString
which is described in the documentation. The configuration file
specifies which braille math code to use. The lbx_files directory
contains various configuration files, such as nemeth.cfg ukmaths.cfg
marburg.cfg I think all the user would have to do is pick the math code.
