Package: docbook-xml
Version: 4.5-5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
In the past I've managed to shoehorn DocBook into doing MathML and
DocBook into dong SVG. And outside of DocBook-5 based stuff, it
still doesn't look like any of this is easy. (By the way, when is
DocBook-5 making its way into Debian?)
Anyway, I got restarted on an old project, which required MathML and SVG
in DocBook. I could not make this work using the dbmathml DTD, I had to
go back to the docbookx DTD. What works is:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd";
[
<!ENTITY % MATHML.prefixed "INCLUDE">
<!ENTITY % MATHML.prefix "mml">
<!ENTITY % equation.content "(alt?, (graphic+|mediaobject+|mml:math))">
<!ENTITY % inlineequation.content
"(alt?, (inlinegraphic+|inlinemediaobject+|mml:math))">
<!ENTITY % mathml PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD MathML 2.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Math/DTD/mathml2/mathml2.dtd";>
%mathml;

I could not find a way to actually put SVG into the DocBook-XML source.
But perhaps a file could get added to the documentation telling people
how to do this magic in DocBook-4.x?
