| Thanks for the replies. I think this topic is ripe for treatment in
| the next edition of the Book, since it touches a lot of different
| areas: tools, catalogs, etc. No one document seems to cover it all
| and it is a scary area for us beginners. The the call for a primer.
I just added a new tracker at http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/
to track documentation requests. That'll make it less likely that I
forget to do it :-)
| For this version (deleting the http:... stuff):
|
| <?xml version='1.0'?> <!-- -*- DocBook -*- -->
| <!DOCTYPE figure
| PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN">
| <figure><title>The Figure</title>
| <graphic fileref="foo.gif" format="GIF"></graphic>
| </figure>
|
| I get:
|
| bash-2.03$ nsgmls -s -wxml figure.xml
| nsgmls:figure.xml:3:47:W: no system id specified
For XML, you must specify system identifiers. Point the DOCTYPE to you're
local copy of DocBook:
<!DOCTYPE figure
PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
"/path/to/where/you/installed/docbookx.dtd">
Be seeing you,
