A DOCTYPE declaration in XML requires a system value, and yours does not appear to have one. The declaration should look more like this: <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd";[ <!ENTITY cereals "<productname>Frobozz Cerals</productname>"> <!ENTITY orange-juice "<productname>Hourmade Orange Juice</productname>"> ]>

I'm a docbook n00b. Just getting my feet wet here. I configured my mac mini to compile docbook xml files. I got the information on how to configure it from this site: http://www.working-software.com/node/18 I was looking at the below tutorial. http://opensource.bureau-cornavin.com/crash-course/en/declaration.html#shared-text I'm a little confused why it's not working. The error message isn't really telling me anything specific (again, new to this stuff :) ). Command line: % xsltproc --output my_content.fo $XSL/fo/docbook.xsl my_content.xml my_content.xml:2: parser error : SystemLiteral " or ' expected <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN" [ ^ my_content.xml:2: parser error : SYSTEM or PUBLIC, the URI is missing <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN" [ ^ my_content.xml:9: parser error : Entity 'cereals' not defined Marketing study about &cereals; ^ my_content.xml:17: parser error : Entity 'cereals' not defined This study describes the expected impact of the new &cereals; product, ^ my_content.xml:19: parser error : Entity 'orange-juice' not defined the &orange-juice;. ^ unable to parse my_content.xml Here's the file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN" [ <!ENTITY cereals "<productname>Frobozz Cerals</productname>"> <!ENTITY orange-juice "<productname>Hourmade Orange Juice</productname>"> ]> <book id="marketing-study" lang="en"> <bookinfo> <title> Marketing study about &cereals; </title> </bookinfo> <chapter id="introduction"> <title> Introduction </title> <para> This study describes the expected impact of the new &cereals; product, and examines the opportunity of an advertising campain combined with the &orange-juice;. </para> </chapter> </book> If this is the wrong forum, sorry. If there is a better place suited to answer this question (especially for those that are new to this), please point me in the right direction. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docbook-apps-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: docbook-apps-h...@lists.oasis-open.org
