RE: [docbook-apps] Can't parse XML

["Shakun Mahajan" <shakun@customercaresolutions.com>]

a simple solution to help you identify the cause would be:

1. copy the dtd to one of your local folders
2. specify the local folder path in your docBook XML

and then run your parser. you will come to know if its bad XML or an
internet connection issue.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Can't parse XML


Hello everyone,
   I am quite new to docbook and so far I've only been
able to successfully use two docbook tools: nsgmls and
docbook2X. I've no trouble with SGML docs but I
haven't been able to successfully parse a singe XML
doc. The reason being that I am to specify the system
identifiers of the DTD to use and I unable to do that.
If i specify my document type declaration like this:

<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML
V4.2//EN"

"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";
>

  I get this error from the parser (nsgmls -sv OR
docbook2html):
Certainity.xml:4:0:E: could not get
"/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd" from
"www.oasis-open.org" (reason given was "Bad Request")

  I am not behind a firewall and the DTD doc. is
accessible through a web-browser. I am using Fedora
Core 1. Please help me with this.

  BTW, is there any doc. that gives some kind of a
'Crash Course' on the latest docbook tools/apps?
