I've tried installing http://redaktion.selfhtml.org/temp/sdml.xxe_addon
normally using a ``fresh XXE'' v3.6.0 on Windows 2000:
* Installation of the add-on worked fine.
* After restarting XXE as instructed, I tried creating a new document
based on your Chapter template. I got this error:
------------------------
Cannot open File
"XXX.xml
parse error in file
"ZZZ/sdml_catalog.xml", line 2, column 85: syntax error
------------------------
This error is caused by the initial contents of sdml_catalog.xml:
---
<public publicId="-//SELFHTML//DTD SDML 1.0 Full//DE" uri="" />
<public publicId="-//SELFHTML//DTD SDML 1.0 Simple//DE" uri="" />
---
It is important to keep in mind that a blank uri (uri="") means:
*myself*. That is, when opening the Chapter template, XXE considers that
the DTD to be used here is sdml_catalog.xml!!!
Needless to say that, as a DTD, sdml_catalog.xml has many parse errors.
* Now, I've edited sdml_catalog.xml using XXE itself (and your CSS style
sheet) and replaced uri="" by uri="YYY.dtd" and then saved sdml_catalog.xml.
* I then *immediately* tried creating a new document based on your
Chapter template. I got the same error:
------------------------
Cannot open File
"XXX.xml
parse error in file
"ZZZ/sdml_catalog.xml", line 2, column 85: syntax error
------------------------
Strange? No. XXE has not reloaded sdml_catalog.xml after I've modified
it. (Users are not expected to modify XML catalogs.)
* After restarting XXE (XXE loads the updated sdml_catalog.xml),
everything works fine.
What I've described explains *all* the symptoms you have described
(except the add-on install problem which I didn't reproduce).
---> No XXE bugs here.
---> I strongly urge you to bundle a copy of the DTDs with your add-on
and to make sdml_catalog.xml initially point to these DTDs.
If the user has its own copies (perhaps more up to date), *then* she/he
may edit sdml_catalog.xml and make it point to its own copies.
Note that in such case, the user needs to clear the DTD cache using
Options|Preferences|Advanced|Clear Cache (see
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.dialog.PreferencesEditorDialog.html#d0e8559).
