I want to include a textfile into the document, be compatible with DocBook 5 and therefor use inlinemediaobject with imageobject. When I use DocBook XML 4.1.2 in addition to jade dsl stylesheets it does function well, but if I try the conventional DocBook 4.1 it does NOT include the textfiles

Title: Re: DOCBOOK: installation help If I remember correctly, your doctype declaration and your catalog entry do not match... The doctype says Docbook 4.1 and your catalog says 4.1.2 Also the 4.1.2 DTD is XML only, I may be wrong on this, but that may also be the cause of your problems.
