Hello,
I am trying to resolve/replace the ENTITYs in my Docbook files without
removing the DOCTYPE declaration. I tried using XMLLINT:
xmllint --noent --dropdtd -o outfile.xml infile.xml
but this removed the DOCTYPE line along with resolving the ENTITYs. So if
I don't use the --dropdtd then I get all of the ENTITYs brought in by the
ENTITY line in the DOCTYPE.
Here is the snippet of XML that I start with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"
"http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";[
<!ENTITY % my-defs SYSTEM "my-defs.mod"> %my-defs;
]>
<chapter id="introduction-and-overview">
<title>Introduction and Overview</title>
<section>
<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
&CORP_NAME; Veneer Testers are high-speed, production-line
testing machines for precision grading of wood veneer. The
different models of &CORP_NAME; Veneer Testers measure
different properties (or combinations of properties) of
veneer in order to grade it.
</para>
Here is what I am getting now with the --dropdtd
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<chapter id="introduction-and-overview">
<title>Introduction and Overview</title>
<section>
<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
Metriguard Veneer Testers are high-speed, production-line
testing machines for precision grading of wood veneer. The
different models of Metriguard Veneer Testers measure
different properties (or combinations of properties) of
veneer in order to grade it.
</para>
Here is what I want:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"
"http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";[
<!ENTITY % my-defs SYSTEM "my-defs.mod"> %my-defs;
]>
<chapter id="introduction-and-overview">

testing machines for precision grading of wood veneer. The

</para>
My question is has anyone dealt with this before? and how?
