/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] was heard to say: | If I use the declaration: | http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.0/docbookx.dtd
By declaration, I assume you mean, <!DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.0/docbookx.dtd";> at the start of your document. In which case, I strongly recommend <!DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd";> instead (4.1.2 is the current XML version). | to point to the DTD, how does the parser find the | actual DTD code? Short answer: by following the URI reference. Long answer: The parser can find it by any means it wants. In particular, it can ask an entity resolver, which might be based on XML Catalogs[1], to return the DTD code. That resolver might return a local resource or it might dereference the URI.
