Thanks for these leads. These tools do a great job of pulling data
out of CDATA sections and then using xdmp:unquote I can convert
strings such as &le;i&ge; into <i> .
That gets me a long way. But if the source XML has CDATA sections
that include entities (e.g. &z.rtls; which appears in some Elsevier
documents we load) that are defined in an associated DTD as mapping
to a specific codepoint, these entities remain untranslated in the
loaded document (e.g. &z.rtls; appears as &z.rtls; rather than
ʂ)
I'm guessing that my options are to parse the source documents before
loading these into Mark Logic or to write a function like
xdmp:unquote that can reference a list of external entities and map
these to the correct numeric entities. I know these entities could
be converted on display, but the goal in all of this is to allow
users to be able to search for terms that contain these entities.
Is there some other function I may be missing to allow me to do this
translation inside of MarkLogic? Would using schemas for the target
database be an option for handling entity translations?

Alan,
I'd recommend starting with xdmp:document-load() - http://

I have a number of documents (sample below) in XML format but not
UTF-8 encoding and with an externally referenced DTD and rendering
stylesheet. What's the best way to get these documents into
MarkLogic so that:
- the encoding is changed to UTF-8
- any entities in the DTD are resolved to UTF-8 encoded characters
- any CDATA sections are removed with the content left intact,
including markup embedded in the CDATA content
Do I need to pre-process the files before loading or can Mark
logic handle these kinds of conversion as part of the load functions?
Also, does anyone know of any good strategies for converting math
in TeX format to MathML?
Thanks,
