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

[Eliot Kimber]

Using Oxygen 15.1 with the 1.6.3 OT with FOP 1.1 manually installed into
the pdf2 plugin, and given DITA docs with MathML and a plugin that outputs
the MathML as markup within fo:instream-foreign-object elements, if I run
the OT PDF transform from within Oxygen, then FOP renders the MathML
nicely.

If I run the same transform from the command line from within a
startCmd.sh-created environment, e.g.:

bash-3.2$ ant -lib "/Applications/oxygen/lib/xml-apis.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/xercesImpl.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/commons-io-1.3.1.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/log4j.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/lib/dost-patches.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/lib" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/lib/dost.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/lib/commons-codec-1.4.jar"
-lib "/Applications/oxygen/lib/jing.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/saxon9ee.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/saxon.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/xmlgraphics-commons-1.5.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/fop.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/batik-all-1.7.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/xml-apis-ext.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/jeuclid-core.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/jeuclid-fop.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/jh.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/lib/jsearch.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/lucene-analyzers-common-4.0.0.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/lib/lucene-core-4.0.0.jar" -lib
"/Applications/oxygen/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/plugins/com.oxygenxml.webhelp
/lib/xhtml-indexer.jar" -f
"/Applications/oxygen/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/build.xml"
"-Dtranstype=pdf2" 
"-Dbasedir=/Users/ekimber/workspace_40/omics-plugin/temp/MathML-Test"
"-Doutput.dir=/Users/ekimber/workspace_40/omics-plugin/temp/MathML-Test/out
/pdf" "-Dwebhelp.trial.license=no"
"-Ddita.temp.dir=/Users/ekimber/workspace_40/omics-plugin/temp/MathML-Test/
temp/pdf" "-Dpdf.formatter=fop"
"-Ddita.dir=/Applications/oxygen/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT"
"-Dretain.topic.fo=yes" "-Dclean.temp=no" "-Dxep.failOnError=true"
"-Dargs.input=/Users/ekimber/workspace_40/omics-plugin/temp/MathML-Test/Mat
hML-Test.ditamap" "-DbaseJVMArgLine=-Xmx384m"

The process runs and I don’t get any FOP messages about the math, but the
equations are not rendered.


I noticed that Oxygen includes the jeuclid-core and jeuclid-fop jars and I
tried copying those into the pdf2/fop/lib dir.

If I run the normal Toolkit process without the Oxygen-defined -lib
options (meaning it’s using the class path defined by the startCmd.sh)
then FOP complains about the MathML markup as being unrecognized, even
with the JEuclid libraries present (which suggests that the Toolkit’s Ant
process is not automatically loading the libraries).

Likewise, if I run the fop shell agains the FO file I get the same MathML
complaints.

I verified that both the Oxygen-supplied FOP jar and the one in my OT are
1.1, e.g.:

contrext01:fop ekimber$ java -jar /Applications/oxygen/lib/fop.jar -v
FOP Version 1.1


contrext01:fop ekimber$ java -jar build/fop.jar -v
FOP Version 1.1


So I’m at a bit of a loss as to how Oxygen is getting the result I want
and what I need to do to get that same result outside of Oxygen.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Eliot
