An attempt to read an mml file gives a GENERAL ERROR with both the Writer and the Math component. The two line file was produced by MathCast and is readable with Firefox. Colin W.
Created attachment 28920 [details] Sample document created with MathCast
MRU->ES: I created a sample document with MathCast. Please check, if this is a valid format for OO. Thanks a lot!
ES->TL: as described.
Setting component to "formula editor" in order to find this issue with Math specific queries.
It is not a pure MathML file but it is an XHML-file which contains a math-element. This is done to be able to use entities inside the math-element. In a pure MathML that would not be possible. In AOO 4.1.1 the file opens in Math module, but the content is incomplete because the entities are not read. Current trunc (AOO 4.2; December 2014) does not detect it at all. So this is still an issue. Set "regression" because it had worked.
MathCast 0.92 can write the special characters without entity, see settings in MathCast. You can then delete the the <!doctype line. Or you use Equation > Export Equation. That will give you the pure math-element as file. I'm going to change the detection in AOO so, that it is able to detect math fragments too, not only complete <?xml -files, see issue #126230.
