/ Robert Withrow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was heard to say:
| 1) The DOCTYPE declaration. Is there a way to have a single doctype
| declaration that will work with both XML and SGML tools?
Yes.
| I had to change this:
|
| <?xml version='1.0'?> <!-- -*- DocBook -*- -->
| <!DOCTYPE article
| PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
| "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.0/docbookx.dtd">
|
| to this:
|
| <?xml version='1.0'?> <!-- -*- DocBook -*- -->
| <!DOCTYPE article
| PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN">
If you change from the XML version to the SGML version, then you
aren't using XML anymore and your document will almost certainly
contain "errors".
| Nsgmls/Jade gacked on the SYSTEM part, and I have to change from the
| XML version of the DTD to the SGML version.
If nsgmls/jade gacked on the "http:..." system part, make sure that
you have a catalog file that points "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
to your local copy of DocBook XML.
OTOH, maybe the only reason it gacked was because
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.0/docbookx.dtd"
doesn't exist. You meant:
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd"
| 2) I had this simple example (almost exactly like in the "book":
|
| <!DOCTYPE figure PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN">
This is an SGML document (you're using the SGML DTD).
| <figure><title>The Figure</title>
| <graphic fileref="foo.gif"></graphic>
In SGML, empty elements must not have a closing tag.
| The question is, how do I encode that in XML such that SGML tools like
| nsgmls buy it?
|
| This doesn't work:
|
| <graphic fileref="foo.gif"/>
|
| I get:
|
| nsgmls:figure.xml:3:27:E: character data is not allowed here
If you use the XML declaration
nsgmls [options] /path/to/xml.dcl yourfile.xml
it should be ok.
Be seeing you,
norm
