In fact, I have no experience with DTDs, but more or less this is what I use (and to me, it has been good enough to write my dissert. in networking/computer science. Of course, I would like more experienced/knowledgeable people to give their opinions. Maybe if this is made a proposal, Oasis could get in touch with AMS). I apologize for not being formal and not give a proper content model. <mathelement> </mathelement> is the wrapper. I don't think it is really needed. <mathhypothesis> <mathproposition> <mathlemma> <mathremark> <mathexample> <mathdefinition> <maththeorem> are the "big" blocks. Personally, I think they should be at the "formalpara" level. Each "big" block has all common attributes (id, role, etc) and an optional <title> and one or more of the following <para>, <mathcondition>, <mathassertion>,... <mathcondition> and <mathassertion> have 1+ <para>... etc. The last "bit" is <mathproof>. IMVHO, I think it should be part of the big blocks (à la proof of the theorem) but people using LaTeX tend to put it after, that is \begin{theorem} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} \end{proof} For example: <mathelement> <mathhypothesis id="chapter:hyp:1"> <title>Boredom</title> <para>All Tasks are boring.<para> </mathhypothesis> <mathelement> <mathelement> <maththeorem id="chapter:theorem:name"> <title>Lazy Man</title> <mathcondition><para>Given a Task T</para></mathcondition> <mathassertion> <para>Do it tomorrow</para> <equation> .... </equation> </mathassertion> <mathproof> <para>By <xref linkend="chapter:hyp:1"/> we can start by proving the lazy nature of mankind...</para> </mathproof> </maththeorem> </mathelement> There is another point regarding the boolean expression of conditions, but I usually put just one single composed condition (if and b or c) Of course, bear in mind that I used them "as is" for my own purposes. in mathelem.mod.xsl (DB2LaTeX) most templates are of the form <!-- ########################################## # # \begin{thm}[title] # # \end{thm} # ########################################## --> <xsl:template match="mathelement/maththeorem"> <xsl:text>\begin{thm}[</xsl:text> <xsl:call-template name="normalize-scape"> <xsl:with-param name="string" select="title"/> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:text>] </xsl:text> <xsl:variable name="id"> <xsl:call-template name="label.id"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:apply-templates/> <xsl:text>\end{thm} </xsl:text> </xsl:template> time for "café" Thanks for reading Ramon
