This will be fixed in the next release of Prince.

What is the current status? The roadmap http://www.princexml.com/roadmap/ actually says:

Calculate the baseline of MathML chunks in order to vertically align them to the baseline of the surrounding block. (ref, ref, ref)

If there was a batter math support, you could blow away the (more or less) good old LaTeX :-)

Thanks for reply!

The bug fix will be in the next release, but I think we still have more work to do on making maths look better before we can seriously challenge LaTeX. :D

Prince 8.0 is now out in beta, and includes correct baseline alignment of MathML.

Can you attach an example showing the problem?
