For MathML in ODF 1.2 documents, a MathML root element must conform to [xml-names] and the root element must have a namespace declaration. Of course an embedded MathML element must also have a namespace binding as well. (This is in the section on Namespaces and the one that defines OpenDocument Documents.)
Also, schema validity, not DTD validity, is required. THE TEST DOCUMENTS I notice that the usage on the web pages that demonstrate some of the tests, the pages are XHTML and the namespace is used on the <math> elements. In the .mml files themselves, there is no XML prolog at all in the ones I looked at. There is no DOCTYPE, there is no <?xml> and there are no prefixes. I think if you add a DOCTYPE, you should still have an xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"; on the root element. But I think just adding the xmlns declaration should be sufficient for the tests to work. If for some reason, xmlns:math="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"; appears to be required, that is probably because there is an old parser being used and it isn't actually doing namespace processing correctly. Is this helpful? - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Regina Henschel [mailto:rb.hensc...@t-online.de] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 07:19 To: AOO dev Subject: Need help in the code jungle of starmath Hi all, I try to use the MathML testsuite http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite/mml2-testsuite/. But those files do not open in Math and cannot be imported. I find, that all files fail, which do not have the namespace xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"; as attribute in the root element math. This error remains, if I force the type detection to accept those files for the MathML filter. If the namespace is missing, I get the error "Root element unknown" in the parser. From a standard view this namespace is not necessary. It is enough to have a doctype, and in case of doctype http://www.w3.org/Math/DTD/mathml1/mathml.dtd an xmlns attribute is not even known. So, does anyone know (1) Where is the part, which insists on the xmlns attribute? (2) Is there a way to deliver this information to the parser, when it is missing in the file?
