What do you guys think of using MathType to generate MathML? http://www.dessci.com/en/reference/white_papers/tug_paper.pdf
http://www.dessci.com/en/reference/white_papers/mt_mathml.htm Please note that I don't receive any money or free software from them. I just have been using them since grad school and they have been keeping up w/ the latest and greatest. Any other suggestions for GUI editors to generate equations would be appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: Zoltán János Jánosi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2012 8:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] include MathML files with the help of XSL Here is the result of "dynamically include MathML files with the help of XSLT when generating HTML files": Test setup: a.. DocBook v4.4 files with equation, inlineequation and informalequation tags, where every equatin has an id b.. MathML files has the same name as the equations id's c.. DocBook XSLT files v1.77.1 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/1.77.1/docbook-xs l-1.77.1.zip/download) Content of the transformation XSL file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:import href="./docbook-xsl-1.77.1/html/docbook.xsl"/> <xsl:output method="html" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes" /> <xsl:template match="inlineequation | equation | informalequation"> <xsl:variable name="id" select="@id"/> <xsl:variable name="mathml" select="concat('math/',$id, '.math')"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="document($mathml,.)/*"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I used Saxon 6.5.5 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/saxon/files/saxon6/6.5.5/saxon6-5-5.zip/dow nload) as an XSLT 1.0 processor. (XSLT 2.0 processors gave errors with DocBook v1.77.1) The following command was used: java -jar saxon.jar -o output.html DSP_DocBook_v44_v0.45.xml HTML5_MathML.xsl The resulting html file contains the MathML equations and in FireFox they look great. This solution is not perfect (lacks differrences of equation types), but it works and is a good starting point for further development.
