Subject: DOCBOOK: installation question
I hope this basic question is appropriate for this mail list. Please advise if not! I am a novice docbook user. I am a professional who would like to develop my papers and pubs in docbook so as to enable multiple output formats and long life of my documents. I am currently installing on Windows but will be moving to Linux. I am following the installation instructions in the on-line version of the O'reilly book, in Appendix A. I have installed the dtds, etc that come in the file docbk412.zip I have set the correct environment variables and edited the catalog. I have installed jade, made the corresponding catalog and environment variable changes and the jade test line jade -t rtf -d jtest.dsl jtest.sgm works perfectly. I didn't originally run the test program for the docbook installation (using nsgmls) because I hadn't downloaded it. When I found it in the jade distribution I decided to run the basic docbook test, I copied the following docbook source from the book into seantest.sgm ############### <!DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN"> <chapter><title>Test Chapter</title> <para> This is a test document. </para> </chapter> ###################### and modified it to ############### <!DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"> <chapter><title>Test Chapter</title> <para> This is a test document. </para> </chapter> ###################### and ran the following command: nsgmls -sv seantest.sgm I got a huge number of errors of two distinct types. Two examples are 1. nsgmls:C:\Program Files\sgml\docbook412/dbhierx.mod:2046:49:E: omitted tag minimization parameter can be omitted only if "OMITTAG NO" is specified on the SGML declaration 2. nsgmls:C:\Program Files\sgml\docbook412/ent/iso-amsa.ent:23:17:E: "X2194" is not a function name The iso entity documents are there and being found. I have not installed additional iso entity definitions, although I have downloaded them. Can anyone give me a hint about what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Sean Callahan, Ph.D. The Boeing Company 425 865 3309
