You mean something like:

m.xml

<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<munderover>
<mo>&#8721;</mo>
<mrow><mi>i</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>0</mn></mrow>
<mi>&#x221e;</mi>
</munderover>
<msqrt><mfrac><mn>&#x3B1;</mn><mi>i</mi></mfrac></msqrt>
</math>


$ saxon8 m.xml pmathmlascii.xsl

infinity
  ----     _____
   \      |alpha
    )   _ |-----
   /     \|  i
  ----
 i = 0
