MathType Equation - Get mathml equations from MathType EPS

I realize this question is a year and a half old, so either you haven't gotten an answer yet, you've gotten an answer elsewhere, or you've just moved on. Whatever the case, I'm answering it in case someone else finds this question on a search.

As you said, you can find the MathML inside an EPS created with MathType. (Actually you didn't mention MathType, but there it is in the first row of your MathML, saying it came from MathType.)

There are 3 things you can do:

• You can take the MathML from the EPS:

%<?xmlversion="1.0"?><!--MathType@Translator@5@5@Ma
%thML2(Clipboard).tdl@MathML2.0(Clipboard)@--><math
%display='block'xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/

%><mostretchy='false'>)</mo></mrow><mi>t</mi></msup
%></mrow></mfrac></mrow></mfenced></mrow></math><!-
%-MathType@End@5@5@-->!​

But once you get it, what do you do with it? You can't just copy it and paste it into MathType, because it doesn't look like MathML to MathType. Even if you find & replace to remove all the comment characters (%) and copy everything between <math> and </math> and paste that into MathType, it still won't work. So basically this chunk of commented EPS that looks like MathML isn't very useful to you.

• There is also "MTEF" (i.e., MathType Equation Format) code inside the EPS. It looks like this:

%MathType!MTEF!1!1!+-
%feaahqart1ev3aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2Caerbqf

You can copy all of that and paste it into MathType and you'll have your equation. It works, but why not just do the easiest thing? That's next...

• Since the EPS was created with MathType, you can open it with MathType. So just open it:

So there it is. In a comment you said your goal "is to get the MathML equation from EPS image which i have posted". So there's the equation. You want the MathML with styling, so go to MathType's Preferences menu, then Cut and Copy Preferences. Set thusly:

Now copy the equation and you have the MathML with styling:

<math display='block' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'><mrow><mi>V</mi><mi>A</mi><mtext>&#x00A0;</mtext><mn>5</mn><mtext>&#x00A0;</mtext><munderover><mstyle mathsize='140%' displaystyle='true'><mo>&#x2211;</mo></mstyle><mrow><mi>t</mi><mtext>&#x00A0;</mtext><mn>5</mn><mtext>&#x00A0;</mtext><mn>1</mn></mrow><mi>n</mi></munderover><mfenced close="}" open="{"><mrow><mfrac><mrow><mi>E</mi><mo stretchy='false'>(</mo><mi>C</mi><msub><mi>F</mi><mrow><mi>&#x0024;</mi><mo>,</mo><mi>t</mi></mrow></msub><mo stretchy='false'>)</mo></mrow><mrow><msup><mrow><mo stretchy='false'>(</mo><mstyle mathvariant='bold' mathsize='normal'><mn>1</mn></mstyle><mtext>&#x00A0;</mtext><mn>1</mn><mtext>&#x00A0;</mtext><mi>k</mi><mo stretchy='false'>)</mo></mrow><mi>t</mi></msup></mrow></mfrac></mrow></mfenced></mrow></math>

Typefaces and styles aren't part of MathML. You might be able to match the Postscript part of the EPS to the MathML, but that's a Herculian task. And why bother: MathTools does a great job converting MathType EPSs to its own MatrhZone format, which is pure InDesign text, formatted and formattable.
