Subject: DOCBOOK: Errors in iso-num.ent ?
A user of our XML Validator (http://www.stg.brown.edu/service/xmlvalid/) reported some errors in the official docbookx.dtd, specifically in the called entity file iso-num.ent. These errors occurred because of the way that the unicode character replacements for the isonum entities are handled for the XML markup characters. I discovered this when I discovered that the official docbook iso-num.ent file already deals with some cases of this problem, namely < and &. However, it does not deal with " and ; so I'm thinking the same hack needs to be used for these as well (the hack being to make a decimal code replacement rather than a unicode replacement for these characters). I made these changes in a local copy of the docbook dtd. Compare http://www.stg.brown.edu/dtds/docbook_xml/ent/iso-num.ent with http://www.stg.brown.edu/dtd/docbook_xml/ent/iso-num-old.ent Am I right in my diagnosis of this problem, or should I instead be making some modification to our XML Validator? thanks, -carole - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Carole E.
