OOoLaTeX on NeoOffice

I know that this is somewhat off topic, but has anyone gotten OOoLaTeX to work with NeoOffice on an Intel Mac?

Also please respond to the poll question.

I got it to work (finally). Please answer the poll, though.

NeoOffice is not OpenOffice.org

NeoOffice is a fork, not contributing in return to OpenOffice.org

I believed it was OpenOffice.org forum ?

P.S. : Last unofficial OpenOffice.org Aqua snapshot

I just posted another poll along the lines of where you were going.

There are quite a few dialects for text expressions as well as quite a few tools for parsing and displaying same. It would seem to me that OO should be able to employ the user's choice of how exquations are displayed and how equations are constructed.

I just spent a month working on addressing management of instructional documents created in OO but presented in Moodle and what became apparent is that thought the cornerstone of OO is that it is open, the Math aspect is anything but.to the regular user.

If someone is comfortable writing text expressions in tex, asciimathml, oo Math or whatever, it would seem that as long as there was a way to parse this out (and the perfect example here is how DragMath uses xml format tables to convert its gui constructor elements into text expressions) then OO should provide the user with the choice (especially if OO is storing the equation as MathML, and though I have been told that this was the case when I try to export xml the equation always appears as text expression.....)

Additionally, now that we have browsers that can display MathML and have some greater sophistication about serving up xhtml, it is time that the user was also provided the choice of how the equation appears in the document. For example, if am producing a document for a system that has a tex filterin place, all I need to do is provide the text expression with appropriate delimiters. If I want to produce html with Mathml I should be able to produce that instead of having to deal with OO producing gifs, especially when it comes to make such pages portable....
