Hi Dean,
I see that Jirka already responded to your question but I want to
address the validation issue.
Please note that Saxon and FOP are not validating your DocBook file
against a DTD or against a schema. Saxon will only care to have an XML
(that is well formed) document and it will get you from that to an
intermediary XSL-FO file that FOP will use as input and get your PDF
file. Invalid DocBook documents may very well pass through this
processings performed by Saxon and FOP.
This processing will stop only if you have the Saxon executing an
xsl:message with terminate="yes" or if you end up with an XSL-FO file
that FOP is not able to handle.
oXygen validates the document against the DocBook DTD or schema and if
the document passes that validation then you know it is conforming with
that DocBook DTD or schema.
The correct solution is to move to DocBook 5. However, if the document
passes fine though your processings and the only thing you want is to
see it valid then you can customize/change the DTD to accept for
instance xi:include inside imagedata. Then you can also add an XSLT
customization layer that matches on imagedata containing something else
than MathML and issue a termination message specifying that only MathML
is accepted inside imagedata.
Best Regards,
George
