Hello,

I'm relatively new to docbook and XML. I manage to generate pdf file for
my article.xml file. I use openjade 1.3, OpenSP 1.3.4, docbook-dsssl-1.76.

I want to include math equation in my article. I changed doctype as you
suggested above. I had to change the file (1.0/dbmathml.dtd) itself by
exchanging URL references to local references (I've got URL not supported
error).

I did not manage to get equation below rendered in my text :
	<informalequation>
	<mml:math>
	  <mml:apply>
	    <mml:plus/>
	    <mml:cn>12345</mml:cn>
	    <mml:ci> x </mml:ci>
	    <mml:ci> y </mml:ci>
	  </mml:apply>
	</mml:math>
	</informalequation>

I just got 12345 x  y.

I've got also many warnings (?) like this one:
openjade:/imec/users/username/mathml/2.0/dtd/isomfrk.ent:28:30:E: "1D51E"
is not a character number in the document character set

Any idea how to get rid of these warnings and how to get sign plus
rendered?

thanks,
Radek

P.S. I also got one error below. I have lived with this one for a while,
but any suggestions, why do I get it, will be appreciated.

openjade:../docbook-dsssl-1.76/print/../lib/dblib.dsl:948:17:E: argument
out of range
