How to export mathematical formulas as SVG Images from OpenOffice Math? I want to include them in my Web page.

There is no simple way to export mathematical formulas directly from OpenOffice Math.

But you export mathematical formulas as images indirectly using OpenOffice Document, Impress, Draw or Spreadsheet as shown in this tutorial.

1. Open OpenOffice Document, Impress, Draw or Spreadsheet.

2. Click "Insert > Object > Formula". You see the OpenOffice Math source code panel below the editing panel.

3. Enter the source code for the mathematical formula. Or copy and pasted it from another OpenOffice Math file. For example:

f(x,y) = {func e^{M} cdot sqrt{cos(x) + tan(y)}} over {M^{2}}

4. Select the formula object and click "File > Export". You see the Export window.

5. Change the following options:

File Type: SVG - Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg)
[x] Automatic file name extension
[x] Selection

6. Click "Save" to save the selected formula as an image in SVG format.

Note that image in SVG gives the much better result in Web pages than other formats like PNG, or JPG.
