Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: many errors from jade
Hi, I've been wanting to learn DocBook for a long time now so I could write the programmers manual for ZooLib (http://zoolib.sourceforge.net/). I recently installed Debian PowerPC on my Mac and was pleased to see that Debian offerred a lot of the docbook tools as install options. I created a DocBook XML file using Emacs and psgml, and it validates OK with M-x sgml-validate. But when I try to use either "db2html test.xml" or "sgmltools --backend=html test.xml" I get many repetitions of the following error, each with a small variation: /usr/bin/jade:/usr/lib/sgml/entities/iso-amsr.ent:7:18:E: "X224D" is not a function name And no HTML output is produced. I don't know the first thing about how I would diagnose this. Here is my file test.xml: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD DocBk XML V3.1.3//EN" "http://nwalsh.com/docbook/xml/3.1.3/db3xml.dtd" [ <!ENTITY mdc "Michael D. Crawford"> <!ENTITY chap1 SYSTEM "chap1.xml"> ]> <book> <title>My First Book"</title> &chap1; </book> And the file chap1.xml which is included as an entity. The "Local Variables" comment at the bottom instructs psgml to connect this file with the parent document: <chapter><title>The First Chapter</title> <para>The first paragraph</para> <para>The second paragraph</para> </chapter> <!-- Local Variables: sgml-parent-document: ("test.xml" "book" "chapter") End: --> Thanks for any help you can give me.
