Some of the DTDs bundled with XMLmind XML Editor have been modified. This document http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/user/userguide5.html#id.s5 explains how and why. Freshly created documents use such modified DTDs. Your manual page don't. Template documents bundled with XXE either: [1] begin with (example "Article"). --- <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";> --- [2] have no <!DOCTYPE> at all (example, "Chapter (part of a master document)"). For first case, DTD with public ID "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" is declared in the catalog.xml bundled with XXE like this: XXE_install_dir/config/catalog.xml: --- <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" uri="docbook/dtd/V4.2/docbookx.dtd"/> --- With such catalog.xml, XXE will use local, modified, docbookx.dtd instead of downloading remote, original, docbookx.dtd from OASIS. For second case, DocBook configuration file XXE_install_dir/config/docbook/docbook.xxe specifies: --- <detect> <and> <or> <rootElementLocalName>book</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>article</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>chapter</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>appendix</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>section</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>sect1</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>sect2</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>sect3</rootElementLocalName> <dtdPublicId substring="true">DTD DocBook XML</dtdPublicId> <dtdPublicId substring="true">DTD DocBook EBNF</dtdPublicId> </or> <rootElementNamespace xsi:nil="true" /> <not> <dtdPublicId substring="true">Simplified</dtdPublicId> </not> </and> </detect> <dtd publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" systemId="dtd/V4.2/docbookx.dtd" /> --- <detect> element detects, for example, a DTD-less section as being DocBook. <dtd> element associates local, modified, docbookx.dtd to the DTD-less section. In summary, the quickest way to solve your problem is to modify your manual page using a text editor and change your <!DOCTYPE> to --- <!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";> --- Note that: --- <!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd";> --- will work too.
