mathml parser
Hi Warren,

Hmm, this CellML is a bit messed up I guess. I didn't get it to work
either.

To your question: The quotes are okay. Xerces shouldn't bother anyway,
as the subject of agitation is within a IGNORE section. If you
overwritten the use_mathml_dtd parameter entity, it is a different
thing.

But I still couldn't validate a simple example for the following reasons
as well.

1.: If you don't overwrite (or change) the use_mathml_dtd parameter
entity to 'INCLUDE' the element 'math' is not defined.

2.:  The URI for the MathML2.dtd is wrong. It probably should be
http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/mathml2.dtd .

3.:  I had problems with overriding it. I am quite sure that it is
correct, if my prolog is something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE model SYSTEM "http://www.cellml.org/cellml/cellml_1_0.dtd"
[  
	<!ENTITY % mathml_dtd_path
"'http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/mathml2.dtd'">
	<!ENTITY % use_mathml_dtd "INCLUDE">
]>

My IDE still mocks about an none defined 'math' element. Probably the
IDEs fault or did I misunderstood something?

The DTD could be validated by changing the section to :

<!ENTITY % use_mathml_dtd "INCLUDE">
<![%use_mathml_dtd;[
  <!ENTITY % mathml-charent.module "IGNORE">
  <!ENTITY % mathml_dtd_path
"'http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/mathml2.dtd'">
  <!ENTITY % mathml_dtd PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD MathML 2.0//EN"
     %mathml_dtd_path;>

  %mathml_dtd;

  <!ATTLIST %cn.qname;    
    %MATHML.Common.attrib;
    %att-type;
    %att-base;
    %att-definition;
    %att-encoding;
    cellml:units      CDATA           #REQUIRED
  >
]]>

Well, Warren I give up.
Maybe ask them CellML people...

Greetings,

		Patrick
