Hi Eric,
The 4.x versions of DocBook DTDs are each backwards compatible, so you shouldn't have any problems with your existing documents.

Bob,

That would explain the errors.

I am using 4.2. Perhaps I will move up to a newer DTD. Are there any things I should watch out for if a move to 4.4 or 4.5?

Cheers,

Eric

The XInclude process adds xml:base attributes to your elements when they are pulled from different directories. That is so relative paths in those files can be kept track of.  The DocBook DTD added xml:base as a common attribute starting in version 4.3, so you must be using a DTD older than that.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Validation Question

 

When validating a book that uses xincludes I get the following errors:

Validation of overview.xml with xmllint:


Parsing took 62 ms
Xinclude processing took 1328 ms
../common/legalblurb.xml:3: element legalnotice: validity error : No declaration for attribute base of element legalnotice
../common/copynotice.xml:4: element legalnotice: validity error : No declaration for attribute base of element legalnotice
../common/copydate.xml:4: element copyright: validity error : No declaration for attribute base of element copyright
overview.xml:7: element section: validity error : No declaration for attribute base of element section
overview.xml:6: element section: validity error : No declaration for attribute base of element section
overview.xml:6: element section: validity error : No declaration for attribute base of element section
overview.xml:3: element section: validity error : No declaration for attribute base of element section
overview.xml:3: element section: validity error : No declaration for attribute base of element section
Document overview.xml does not validate
Validating took 16 ms
Freeing took 15 ms

 

The book runs through the XSLT without a hitch and all of the individual file validate. What am I missing?

 

TIA,

Eric J.
