Re: [jats-list] Seeking assistance with simple LaTeX mathematical equations in XML JATS

["Michael Boudreau mboudreau@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My version included \[ and \] as delimiters around the LaTeX expression. You
may or may not need them, depending on what application is going to interpret
or render the LaTeX. With some additional color and space for clarity:

<![CDATA[  \[  F_{2,1045} = 24.942, p < .001  \]  ]]>

Also, Ibm not sure what the \ character before the F is for. If you just
want the variable F, I donbt think you need it. So I think you need either
this:

<tex-math notation="LaTeX"><![CDATA[ \[ F_{2,1045} = 24.942, p < .001 \]
]]></tex-math>

or this

<tex-math notation="LaTeX"><![CDATA[ F_{2,1045} = 24.942, p < .001
]]></tex-math>

to have a LaTeX-capable application render the expression as this:

F2,1045 = 24.942, p < .001

Although Oxygen doesnbt render LaTeX by default, there is a blog post that
mentions a free plug-in that converts LaTeX to images for display
(https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/adding-latex-equation-support-dita.html). I
havenbt tried it myself.

Oxygen will render MathML, but creating MathML is more cumbersome than typing
LaTeX. There is an expensive plug-in for Oxygen (formerly from Design Science,
now sold by Wiris), and there are less expensive applications that will export
MathML that you can copy and paste into your XML document in Text view.

Finally, for very simple math expressions like this one you may find you need
no more than basic inline markup, like so:

<italic>F</italic><sub>2,1045</sub> = 24.942, <italic>p</italic> &lt; .001

I mention these because you said youbre just starting out, so they may be
worth researching, depending on how much math youbll have to deal with.

Hi Michael,

Many thanks for your reply! So, what you're saying is that the code below is
alright, it's just not showing up in Oxygen author mode?

This is an example code in text mode - in the example you sent I had to change
the final \ into ] otherwise it's green until the end of the file


This is how it shows up in author mode:

Hi Mario,

Although Oxygen will not render LaTeX, this should work: \[F_{2,1045} =
24.942, p < .001\]

Subject: [jats-list] Seeking assistance with simple LaTeX mathematical
equations in XML JATS

Dear all,

I am converting doc/pdf versions of academic articles into XML JATS for a
Croatian scholarly journal. I just started using XML a few months ago, with no
prior knowledge of programming, and this is only my second article - so I'm
pretty much a noob. I use Oxygen.

The problem is, I cannot get a few very simple mathematical formulas to work
using LaTeX in XML JATS. I also cannot find any tutorials or example articles
online. I would like to use LaTeX, and not MathML.

Would anyone be willing to help me? Basically, right now I just need to learn
how to make a subscript, but am also interested to learn more for future
articles.

This is an example formula that I've written based on one tutorial I found.
Everything works alright (the formula is inline, it's italic, looks nice), but
it does not want to make the "2,1045" a subscript as it should. Other
operators (such as "to the power of" also don't seem to work).

<inline-formula>
          <tex-math notation="LaTeX">
            <![CDATA[/F_{(2,1045)}= 24.942, p<.001]]>
          </tex-math>
</inline-formula>

This is the data at the beginning of my XML doc in case the problem lies
there:
