Hi Gianugo, i had the beginnings of a new Cocoon Sample
to show how to use the Simplified DocBook DTD. So i have
now committed that to CVS to give you a kick-start.
You will need to add a "local-catalog" parameter to your
webapp/cocoon.xconf (see attached diff).
You will also need a corresponding "OASIS catalog" file to
define the location of the sdocbook.dtd ... see the doco at
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/concepts/catalog.html#config
I have not yet hooked up the new Sample because it still
needs some more work to explain this local configuration.
However, it should be enough to get you going at
