¶ dx:formulaType
The data block dx:formulaType is used to insert formulas and equations into the measurement result area of the DX.
Please keep in mind that there are two different types of formula in codes. LaTeX and Presentation MathML is used for formulas in intention of presentation. Content MathML is machine-interpretable. As a good practice it is good to use machine interpretable formulas in data fields of the DX and presentational formulas in text fields of the DX.
