Subject: OT: Help with psgml needed
Hello, This is off-topic, but I do not know where to post it else: Writing a large DocBook-document, I have some serious problems with Emacs/Xemacs+psgml. Where can I get some help? a) Using entities to break a document in smaller pieces as described in "The Definite Guide" does not work for me: <!ENTITY chap1 SYSTEM "chap1.sgm"> <!ENTITY chap2 SYSTEM "chap2.sgm"> ]> <book><title>My First Book</title> &chap1; &chap2; </book> Emacs (and Xemacs neither) does not parse the DTD in the smaller files. (Yes, I have tried something like <!-- Local Variables: mode: xml sgml-parent-document: ("master-file.xml") End: --> ) This mechanism only works for small documents (at least on my machine.) but not when the documents get large. I don't know how to fix this. Loading one of the smaller files, I get the erroe message: "File mode pecification error: void-function char-table-parent" b) Editing of attributes does not work. It always turns *all* attribute values to lowercase. Sometimes it inserts funny markup like an extra ">". (Unfortunately, the last behaviour cannot be reproduced deterministically.) This is very dangerous because it can make files unvalid (by lowercasing IDs or IDREfs.) c) psgml sometimes becomes confused when I type something like <para>The number which is half as big as n is n/2. </para> It sometimes (but not always!) misinterprets the "/" division operator as belonging to an end-tag. After this "/" the set of elements it offers for this context is complete nonsense. d) Inseting an <xref> and typing "SOMEID" for the linkend, psgml inserts the following: <xref linkend="someid"> (there is no trailing slash and no end-tag </xref> and the attribute is lower case.) I've tried this with psgml-1.2.5 (bytecompiled by myself) and GNU Emacs 21.1.2 and XEmacs 21.1 (patch 14). Greetings, Joachim
