> mathematical expressions are notated in various representations simultaneously. Is there any libre and open source software that is used to convert (when possible) between Content MathML , Representation MathML, OpenMath and Prefix notation for generation of these pages?

These pages are generated with XSLTs (developed by David Carlisle),
which are available in the Subversion repository:
http://svn.openmath.org/OpenMath/www/cdfiles2/xsl.  Look for cd.xsl and
what it includes, e.g. there is om2popcorn.xsl.

With a few exceptions, these XSLTs focus on the conversion of OpenMath
to other formats.

… which gives you the "Popcorn to OpenMath" direction.

> Generally, which (libre and open source) software could you recommend for notation conversion ?

Particularly for the "OpenMath to Presentation MathML" direction, there
are lots of alternatives to choose from, besides the above-mentioned
XSLTs.  The alternatives mainly become interesting if you introduce new
CDs and symbols beyond the standard supply, and/or if you want adaptive
output w.r.t. different languages, different styles, different
communities of practice, different preferences, etc.

Two implementations under active development are developed within the
following larger projects:
* JOMDoc (http://jomdoc.omdoc.org) – library for processing documents in
the OMDoc language (kind of a superset of OpenMath), developed by our
research group (comprising Michael Kohlhase, me, and others)
* ActiveMath (http://www.activemath.org) – e-learning system, also using
OMDoc (but a different variant of it), with a particular focus on
multilingual output, developed by Paul Libbrecht and others

Cheers,

Christoph
