Dave, Chris,
Thank you so much for your reply. I did check the library at https://github.com/davedelong/DDMathParser/. It incredibly nice. I am grateful to Dave for developing & sharing it.
Il will now investigate the parsing + mathML conversion combined with rendering possibility.
Thanks all for helping me to go forward with my project.
Jean
