Hi :) .  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" [

the &orange-juice;.

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>">

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.
