The MathML package currently 3 sitemap components:
Transformer:
FragmentExtractorTransformer, similar to the SVG extractor.
MathTransformer, to replace the MathML fragments to SVG fragments in the
document
Serializer:
MathSerializer, to generate a GIF Image from a MathML document
My first qeustion is, can the author of FragmentExtractorTransformer write
his class more flexible? So that I can set the information,
which elements should be extracted, in the sitemap, like
<map:generator name="extractor"
src="org.apache.cocoon.generation.FragmentExtractorGenerator">
<map:parameter name="EXTRACT_URI"
value="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"/>
<map:parameter name="EXTRACT_ELEMENT" value="math"/>
</map:generator>
We want to give the project free as open source, and ask the
xml.apache.org projekt to pick up out project. At this moment the
project is licenceless, so we can take the apache licence.
In future we ant also write a ant task to contruct the content offline,
as preprocessing step.
