Hi Dean,

I see that Jirka already responded to your question but I want to address the validation issue.

Please note that Saxon and FOP are not validating your DocBook file against a DTD or against a schema. Saxon will only care to have an XML (that is well formed) document and it will get you from that to an intermediary XSL-FO file that FOP will use as input and get your PDF file. Invalid DocBook documents may very well pass through this processings performed by Saxon and FOP. This processing will stop only if you have the Saxon executing an xsl:message with terminate="yes" or if you end up with an XSL-FO file that FOP is not able to handle.

oXygen validates the document against the DocBook DTD or schema and if the document passes that validation then you know it is conforming with that DocBook DTD or schema.

The correct solution is to move to DocBook 5. However, if the document passes fine though your processings and the only thing you want is to see it valid then you can customize/change the DTD to accept for instance xi:include inside imagedata. Then you can also add an XSLT customization layer that matches on imagedata containing something else than MathML and issue a termination message specifying that only MathML is accepted inside imagedata.

Best Regards,
George

Is there a better way to include MathML in Docbook equations that will validate in 
oXygen? It works well under SAXON 6.5.5 & FOP 0.94 from the command line but it 
won't vaildate with Oxygen 9 (or 8.2).
BTW: the new oXygen version is a resounding success here at work. Dean

Dear Dean,

Place the caret on imagedata
Contextual menu (right click on Windows, CTRL+click on Mac)
Select the last entry: Show Definition

should get you to

<!--doc:Pointer to external image data.
This element points to an external entity containing graphical image
data.-->
<!ELEMENT imagedata %ho; EMPTY>

The ho parameter entity is defined as

<!ENTITY % ho "">

So, the content of imagedata is empty as in nothing.

Best Regards,
George

OK - does "empty" mean that there should be another wrapper that wraps the 
MathML code?

I am assuming that "empty" does not mean "nothing", as that would be senseless?

Greetings!
I am puzzled by the benign error that I get in validating XIncluded
content with Oxygen. Here is the section of code:

<equation ><title>Here is a nice equation</title>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata align="center">
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";
href="EEC-Math-template.xml"/>
</imagedata>
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
</equation>

and I get the following error in validation:

SystemID: C:\doc\userman\xml\EEC-Section-Template.xml
Location: 300:12
Description: The content of element type "imagedata" must match "EMPTY".
Take a look at the schema.
The imagedata element *must* be empty.

regards
