It doesn't matter where the DTD is located. The important thing is that your project's XML Catalog refers to it properly and that you use the new Public Identifier in your source xml file. > Now > validation succeeds, until I try using an <xi:include> element in my > XDocs source file.

It should work in the project space. This is why we make this facility available. However, because you are trying to intercept one of the main DTDs and essentially re-define it, this might cause some troubles. > >A better solution would be to patch our DTD with Jims proposed changes. > > I would like to get my method working before I try to patch the Forrest DTD. You are not providing sufficient information to enable us to help you. Please open a new issue in our issue tracker. Then attach example files: your new DTD, your project XML Catalog, a cut-down example of your index.xml file. -David
