Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: xmllint bug?
In answering a previous question about where to put the email tag in a bookinfo element, I decided to test my answer. xmllint says it is invalid. It looks valid to me, and nsgmls thinks it is valid too. Here is the shortened sample that should validate with the DocBook XML 4.2 DTD: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" "../docbook42/docbookx.dtd"> <book> <bookinfo> <title> .. </title> <author> <firstname> .. </firstname> <surname> .. </surname> <email> .. </email> </author> </bookinfo> </book> Here is what xmllint (version 20423) says: $ xmllint --noout --valid invalid.xml invalid.xml:11: validity error: Element author content doesn't follow the DTD Expecting ((personname | honorific | firstname | surname | lineage | othername | affiliation | authorblurb | contrib+) , (personblurb | email | address)*), got (firstname surname email ) </author> ^ Here is the content model of author in 4.2: ((personname|(%person.ident.mix;)+),(personblurb|email|address)*) and here is %person.ident.mix: <!ENTITY % person.ident.mix "honorific|firstname|surname|lineage|othername|affiliation |authorblurb|contrib %local.person.ident.mix;"> The example has firstname and surname (and no personname) to satisfy the group before the comma, followed by email which is part of the group after the comma. It should validate, shouldn't it? Am I missing something? Or is xmllint misinterpreting the content model? It seems to have dropped a set of parens, the ones around the parameter entity. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
