Re: [docbook-apps] Equations in docbook not working

[DeanNelson@aol.com]

Hello,

First make sure your DOCTYPEs are correctly used. I corrected the included file's DOCTYPE before it would legally compile.

 

Next, you can use mathphrase:

 

<!DOCTYPE equation PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"

          "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd">

<equation><title>Fermat's Last Theorem</title>

<alt>x^n + y^n &ne; z^n &forall; n &gt; 2</alt>

<mathphrase>x<superscript>n</superscript>

 + y<superscript>n</superscript>

≠ z<superscript>n</superscript>

 ∀ n ≠ 2</mathphrase>

</equation>

 

This compiled correctly on my system.

 

I use MathML for all of my equations. See Bob Stayton's book for a better explanation of how to integrate MathML equations.

Hope this helps.

Yes sorry 

So i have downloaded this docbook complete project that is open source.

with this command 

git clone https://github.com/sonatype/m2eclipse-book.git

and from the source code to generate the PDF i did

cd m2eclipse-book

and 

mvn clean install 

this generates the pdf and it's ok 

my problem is when i create a file named test.xml with 

<!DOCTYPE equation PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"

          "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd">

<equation><title>Fermat's Last Theorem</title>

  <alt>x^n + y^n &ne; z^n &forall; n &gt; 2</alt>

  <graphic fileref="figures/fermat.png"/>

</equation>

and in the m2eclipse-book/m2ebook-content/src/main/resources/foreword.xml file, i include 

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

to have this : 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE preface PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"

"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd">

<preface id="foreword">

  <title>Foreword: ${project.version}</title>

  <xi:include href=""

              xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" />

Hello!

 

For us to help you, we would need to know a little more about your issue. Equations can be a bit tricky for all formats, but I think you are trying to get it to work in eBook format?

 

Can you tell us what you have tried, specifically? It would help us understand your issue.

Regards,

Dean Nelson
