Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] How to share custom entity definitions across documents
You can create a single file containing all of your shared entity declarations and then include it in each of your files. For example, you could have a file named "global.ent" that would look something like: <!ENTITY mystring "My String"> <!ENTITY another_string "Another String"> Then, the DOCTYPE declaration for each file would be: <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook 4.2 XML//EN" "http://www...." [ <!ENTITY % global_entities SYSTEM "global.ent"> %global_entities; ]> (Note the use of the percent sign (%) when declaring such "parameter entities" that include DTD declarations.)
