Hello all,
I see in the page
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/media.html
that the way to add MathML markup in a DITA document for use with the
DITA Converter is to include it in a foreign element:
<p><foreign><mml:math display="block"
xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";>
<mml:mrow>
<mml:mo>{</mml:mo>
<mml:mtable>
<mml:mtr>
<mml:mtd>
...
</mml:mtd>
</mml:mtr>
</mml:mtable>
</mml:mrow>
</mml:math></foreign></p>
Are you aware of the inclusion in the v1.3 specs for DITA of a standard
MathML domain? The proposed structure is not that far off from the
above, but specializes the <foreign> element to a <mathml> one (I don't
think the name is final yet), to hold MathML.
Are there plans to support these standards for MathML in DITA? It would
seem that what you have now is close, and keeping things standard should
be a win for everyone...
We fully agree on that. However you are not talking about a standard.
For now, DITA 1.3 just consists in a number of proposals. See
https://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/FrontPage
We are committed to fully support DITA v1.3 in all our products, but not
before it becomes an OASIS standard.
By the way, there is a similar proposal for an SVG domain.
Thanks,
