No offense intended, but your configuration is all wrong. (But that's normal because what you want to do is pretty advanced.)
First forget about rendering and editing MathML, just concentrate on a customization of DocBook 4 which allows you to mix MathML math elements with DocBook 4 elements. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/customizing.html Once you have such configuration working, follow what is explained in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/mathml/integrate_mathml_with_other_doctype.html Note that Docbook 5 is just taken as an example. Your configuration must *not* refer to DocBook 5 or any of its files at all. Instead: [1] Install the MathML add-on. This one is always needed. [2] Copy <mathml_config_install_dir>/common/mathml.css to the directory containing your customization of DocBook 4. [3] Create a custom CSS style sheet (let's call it docbook_mathml.css) looking like this : --- @import url(xxe-config:docbook/css/docbook.css); @import url(mathml.css); imagedata:contains-element(mml|math), inlineequation > mml|math, informalequation > mml|math, equation > mml|math { content: ""; } --- Here we assume that your custom DTD integrates MathML the same way the DocBook 5 RELAX NG schema does it. [4] Copy <mathml_config_install_dir>/db5mml/rng/mathml2.rng to the directory containing your customization of DocBook 4. [5] Add what follows to the .xxe file specifying your customization of DocBook 4: --- <css name="DocBook + MathML" location="docbook_mathml.css" /> <validate namespace="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";> <relaxng location="mathml2.rng" /> </validate> --- --- PS: You may want to consider purchasing 1 unit of xe-su . See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/customization_service.html. Note that this service is not intended to make us rich. It allows us to solve user problems beyond what can be done by simply answering their questions. (If you order this support unit, we'll use the ``standard'' MathML module -- http://docbook.org/schemas/mathml -- to extend the DocBook 4 DTD.) --- PS 2: Even simpler, consider switching to DocBook 5! Recommended.
