Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 34781
Simple MathML are not loaded in the formula editor
Last modified: 2024-02-16 00:22:31 UTC
Simple MathML files, like the most simple ones of the MathML test suite ( http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite ) are not loaded in the formula editor but it seems as Web View of OOo-Writer, even if the files are renamed with a .mml extension. (OpenOffice.org 1.9.54) Have a nice day!
TL->BH: This is a request for enhancement since currently we can basically only read the MathML we have written while saving. Please take over. Thanks!
.
The files are not opened in Math module and not imported via Tools > Import Formula because they do not start with an <?xml instruction. I like to see, that such MathML fragments are imported the same as full MathML files. Such feature is also needed to import formulas from Websites which use MathJax.
I have made the detection method less restrict. You should be able to use such *.mml files, when you first start Math and then use Tools > Import Formula. The result might not be correct in some cases. But please keep in mind, that Apache OpenOffice only supports a subset of the MathML elements and attributes. You can test the changes in a developer version from http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/install/. To not overwrite you current version use an administrative installation. I've you need help with that, please ask on mailing list or forum.
