Adding MathML support using MathFlow
History | Edit

In the pom.xml file add dependencies to the additional libraries used by the MathFlow library to parse MathML equations:

  1. MFComposer.jar
  2. MFExtraSymFonts.jar
  3. MFSimpleEditor.jar
  4. MFStructureEditor.jar
  5. MFStyleEditor.jar
    Note: For MathFlow 2.1, all of these JAR files are packaged into one file called MathFlow.jar.

You can reference these additional libraries from the MathFlow SDK as in the example below:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.dessci</groupId>
    <artifactId>MFComposer</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <scope>system</scope>
    <systemPath>${MathFlowSDKDir}/lib/MFComposer.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

In addition, you must obtain fixed MathFlow license keys for editing and composing MathML equations and register them using these API methods: AuthorComponentFactory.setMathFlowFixedLicenseKeyForEditor and AuthorComponentFactory.setMathFlowFixedLicenseKeyForComposer.

To edit specialized DITA Composite with MathML content, include the entire [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks/mathml2 Mathml2 framework directory in the frameworks bundled with the component in the bundle-frameworks module. This directory is used to solve references to MathML DTDs.
