Hello, I use a DTD for XML documents which allows the use of MathML 2.0 Elements wrapped in the element Formula:

<!ENTITY % MATHML.prefixed "INCLUDE"> <!ENTITY % MATHML.prefix "mml"> <!ENTITY % math PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD MathML 2.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/mathml2.dtd"> %math; <!ELEMENT Formula (%math.qname;)*> <!ATTLIST Formula xmlns:mml CDATA #FIXED "http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/mathml2.dtd" Display (Block | Inline) "Inline">

A XML sample file could contain some MathML elements:
...
<Content>
</Text>
<Paragraph>This is an example text.
<Formula xmln:mml="http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/mathml2.dtd">
<mml:math>
<mml:row>
...
</mml:row>
</mml:math
</Formula>
</Paragraph>
</Text>
</Content>
...

The XML source is transformed to HTML with a XSL Stylesheet with Instant Saxon 6.5.2. The embedded MathML elements shall be passed through with a result like this: <html> <head> </head> <body> ... <mml:math> <mml:row> ... </mml:row> </mml:math> ... </body> </html>

If I try to use the following stylesheet the MathML elements will be transformed to HTML (XSL version 1.1 is used to use the xsl:document with Saxon).

<?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.1" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" encoding="ISO-8859-1" indent="yes"/> ... <xsl:template match="Formula"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@Display='Block'"> <blockquote> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </blockquote> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> ... </xsl:stylesheet>

The same problem still with the XHTML and MathML and SVG Profile from W3C (http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-XHTMLplusMathMLplusSVG-20020430/xhtml-math-svg.html), all MathML elements will be transformed.

<?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.1" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/2002/04/xhtml-math-svg/xhtml-math-svg.dtd" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0 plus SVG 1.1//EN" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

I thought the default rule for XSLT processors is to pass the output through so I deleted the whole Formula template - same result. What output parameter, encoding or template do I need to define to get MathML elements pass through? Kind regards,

Maik Stührenberg
