[oXygen-user] Configuring OT's FOP To Render MathML

I’ve gotten a little farther.
I discovered that the FO generation process produces different results
from run inside Oxygen than when run outside Oxygen using the libraries in
the fop/lib dir. In particular, this bit of XSLT:
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"
>
results in
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"
>
In the FO instance produced from within Oxygen, but:
<math>
When run outside Oxygen.
That was causing FOP to fail to render the math even when the JEuclid
libraries were in place. Correcting the XSLT to use a prefix on the <math>
element solved that problem, but the question remains of why the XSLT
serialization behavior is different between Oxygen and not-Oxygen (it
implies that Oxygen is using a newer or fixed version of some library).
I modified my local startCmd.sh as follows:
#— Start of FOP stuff
# Classpath entries for FOP:
NEW_CLASSPATH="$DITA_DIR/plugins/org.dita.pdf2/fop/build/fop.jar:$NEW_CLASS
PATH"
DIRLIBS=$DITA_DIR/plugins/org.dita.pdf2/fop/lib/*.jar
for i in ${DIRLIBS}
do
# if the directory is empty, then it will return the input string
# this is stupid, so case for it
if [ "$i" != "${DIRLIBS}" ] ; then
NEW_CLASSPATH="$i"${pathSepChar}$NEW_CLASSPATH
fi
done
#— End of FOP stuff
And with that class path, I can do this:
ant -Dtranstype=pdf
-Dargs.input=/Users/ekimber/workspace_40/temp/MathML-Test/MathML-Test.ditam
ap "-Dretain.topic.fo=yes" "-Dclean.temp=no"
And get an FOP-generated PDF with rendered equations.
Cheers,
E.
