Thank you.
Unfortunately, I didn't find any information concerning pricing on the RenderX
website. How much is it?
In addition, XEP's problem is that it doesn't handle MathML. So you probably
have to rely on MathML-to-SVG converters which produces this funny "formula
output which looks like it would appear in your children's
excercise-books". :)

DB2LaTeX as soon as I started to try it. So it falls under the category
"unusable" if nobody can tell me how to get rid of this problem and if not
lots of similar problems appear.
