Subject: Inline DTD Extension for xml:base
This crosses the boundaries between being a DocBook problem and being a libxml2 problem, but I thought I'd ask here first because I thought the people on this list might have experience with solving this (seemingly simple) problem. I'm trying to follow Bob Stayton's book in the section "Adding xml:base to the DTD"[0]. I am initially trying to include the entity in the DOCTYPE declaration precisely as specified in that section: shell# head -n 5 master.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd" [ <!ENTITY % local.common.attrib "xml:base CDATA #IMPLIED"> ]> But xmllint seems to delete the entity declaration from the output: shell# xmllint --xinclude master.xml | head -n 3 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd"> <book> Needless to say, I'm a bit confused. Obviously, my output from XInclude processing will not validate, because there is no reference to the new xml:base attribute. If all else fails, I can definitely use a custom DTD; I was just curious as to why this might happen. As always, "DocBook XSL: The Definite Guide" is a truly amazing reference. It not only covers the XSL transformations beautifully, but also discusses in great detail how to use DocBook itself productively. Take care, John L.
