(Sorry but what follows is a bit complicated. Note that end-users, that is, technical writers, are not supposed to do this. More information about the separation of roles here: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/introduction.html )
[1] Please remove everything you did. [2] Please use "Options|Install Add-ons" and select the add-on called "A sample customize.xxe". [3] At the end of the documentation pane of this add-on, you'll find instructions explaining how to enable the 3 purely declarative (an XML spec -- http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/imageToolkit.html ) image toolkits included in this add-on: --- Add support for even more image formats If you have Ghostscript 8+ and/or TeX and/or netpbm installed on your machine, uncomment this line (found at the end of customize.xxe): <!-- <include location="imagetoolkits.incl" /> --> and you'll add to XXE support for: EPS, PDF graphics, PBM, PGM, PPM images, ``TeX Math''. Open XXE_install_dir/demo/docbook-image.xml to test these newly added image toolkit plug-ins. --- [3] Click OK to install the add-on. [4] Follow the above instructions, that is, uncomment in ~/.xxe4/sample_customize_xxe/customize.xxe: <!-- <include location="imagetoolkits.incl" /> --> [5] Restart XXE and open docbook-image.xml. [6] If the TeX equation is not properly rendered, please take a look at imagetoolkits.incl and adapt it to your working environment. --- <!-- ================================================================= The following software is required: latex, dvips, Ghostscript 8+ (for -dEPSCrop). The texmathtoimg.bat batch file (the texmathtoimg shell script on Unix) must be copied to the directory containing this XXE configuration file. If the latex, dvips, gs and ps2pdf12 programs are not in your PATH, you'll need to slightly edit the texmathtoimg.bat batch file (the texmathtoimg shell script on Unix). Tested on Windows using: * MiKTeX 2.4, an up-to-date TeX implementation for the Windows operating system. See http://www.miktex.org/. * Ghostscript 8.14, an interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF. See http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/. =================================================================== --> <imageToolkit name="TeX Math"> <description>Converts TeX mathematics to PNG, EPS, PDF.
