Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: docbook XML entities in nsgmls
Actually, I mentioned nsgmls because it exhibited the same symptoms as Arbortext Adept in this regard. My real problem was trying to use Arbortext with the Docbook 3 XML DTD. In the XML world, you officially don't need an SGML declaration, which is why it is not in the standard. So if Arbortext is claiming XML compatibility, why does Arbortext Document Architect 8 require an SGML declaration for an XML DTD? Probably because they haven't finished adapting DA to XML. OK, but if it requires a declaration, why doesn't it include one in the distribution? The product works quite well with XML, but they don't seem to make it easy. Norm, you must use Adept with Docbook XML. Didn't you have to dig up a declaration as well? bobs > From Terry Allen: > > It really doesn't matter what decl you use so long as it doesn't > trip you up.
