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 ≠ z^n ∀ n > 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.

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 ≠ z^n ∀ n > 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=""

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.
