Excuse me, but RTFM must apply here :-) This is the prime example of why we need the Catalog Entity Resolver for Cocoon, and why we have been working hard to get it implemented. Please see the Cocoon docs at http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/concepts/catalog.html
It even provides an example of how to configure it for the Simplified DocBook DTD. As Berin says, the parser needs to find the DTD whether it it set to do validation or not. Hacking the XML source to remove the DTD declaration is NOT the way to go. We have the perfect solution already available in Cocoon. enjoy, David Crossley Gianugo Rabellino wrote: > Berin Loritsch wrote: > Gianugo Rabellino wrote: > >> I always try to avoid validation, but this time I have to: while > >> playing with a pretty cool DocBook add-on for M$ Word (you might want > >> to check it out at http://www.yawcpro.com: it's closed-source yet it > >> has a free that does all that is needed to me) I'm facing the fact > >> that the software saves its documents with a > >> > >> <!DOCTYPE article SYSTEM "sdocbook.dtd"> > >> > >> directive.
