Re: [docbook-apps] Xmllint error

[Patrick Eisenacher <eisenacher@fillmore-labs.com>]

Kenneth,

your module is not a valid docbook document. Therefore you can not 
include it via xinclude. It's missing the docbook header line. That's 
why xmllint doesn't know where to lookup the definition of the module's 
first element: chapter. Add a line like the following to your module:

<!DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" 
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";>

If you want to include modules that are not valid docbook, but just 
contain the actual elements that shall be pasted into your mother 
document, then use entities.

As always, see Bob's XSL bible for more info on modular docbook:

HTH,
Patrick
