Re: [docbook-apps] Re: Docbook: Customising DTD to allow xinclude in pla

Paul

I had the same problem a few months ago. I am using Saxon 6.5.5 and Fop 0.94 with the Jeuclid plugin.

I modified the DTD this way:

and my xincluded file "myequation.xml" looked like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
     <!DOCTYPE mml:math PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD MathML 2.0//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/mathml2.dtd" [
        <!ENTITY % MATHML.prefixed "INCLUDE">
        <!ENTITY % MATHML.prefix "mml">
        ]>
<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="mymath">

    <mml:mrow>
    <mml:mo>∑</mml:mo>
    <mml:mn>4</mml:mn>
    <mml:mo>+</mml:mo>
    <mml:mi>x</mml:mi>
</mml:mrow>
</mml:math>

And the way it was xincluded in the docbook file:

    <equation ><title>Here is a nice equation</title>
      <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="myequation.xml"/>
    </equation>

I think that you got pretty close.

Hope this helps,

Dear all

I have been searching for the answer to a problem in the mailing list
archives, but haven't been able to find it. I am hoping you might be
able to help me out.

I have previously followed the instructions here
(http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/MathML.html) that show how to
customise the DTD to allow MathML to be included within equation,
inlineequation and informalequation elements.

I have just decided to follow the instructions here
(http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ValidXinclude.html), which explain
how to customise the DocBook DTD to allow xincludes in place of
various elements. I would like to extend this to allow xincludes in
place of the mml:math element within equation, inlineequation and
informalequation elements, so that something like

<equation>
<xi:include href="math.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" />
</equation>

will validate too (using xmllint).

I guess I need to extend the examples given in the references above by
adding lines similar to

<!ENTITY % equation.mml:math.content "| xi:include">
<!ENTITY % inlineequation.mml:math.content "| xi:include">
<!ENTITY % informalequation.mml:math.content "| xi:include">

to my DTD but I don't know the correct syntax.

Can someone (Bob) help me out here please?

Thank you,

Paul
