XXE has not been designed to handle documents such as yours which heavily makes use of references to external entities. In the case of UsersGuide.xml, the killer is: --- <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN" "../common/docbook-xml-4.4/docbookx.dtd" [ <!-- Useful snippets --> <!ENTITY % GridSphereLinks SYSTEM "GridSphereLinks.xml"> %GridSphereLinks; <------------------------------------- ***THIS*** <!-- Each chapter is in its own file -->[*] <!ENTITY chap-intro SYSTEM "intro.xml"> <!ENTITY chap-config SYSTEM "config.xml"> <!ENTITY chap-install SYSTEM "install.xml"> <!-- Application, page, library, component specification entities --> ]> --- (You forgot to send me GridSphereLinks.xml but I've found one on the Internet using Google.) When XXE transforms a DocBook document to any other format, it does so by copying the document and all its resources (e.g. graphics files) to a temporary working directory (e.g. /tmp/xxe23456). XXE should have copied GridSphereLinks.xml too to this temporary directory to make Saxon happy (this is not really needed because XXE creates a ``flat'' XML file for use by Saxon where all entities, including those defined in GridSphereLinks.xml, have been replaced). This is not a bug (not even a limitation because we have not created XXE to do this) but this makes XXE unusable for you (more info. in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/detailed_features.html#nonfeatures). Sorry for that. --- [*] This comment is false: intro.xml and al. contain a bunch of <sect1> and not a <chapter>. This also is not supported by XXE. (A single <chapter> would have worked fine.) --- PS: UsersGuide.xml is structurally invalid. For example, you directly write some text in a <sect1> instead of doing so in a <para>.
