Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] How to use a catalog for an entity declaration file?
Hi Radu, I was testing with our modified version of Oxygen's DocBook WebHelp transformation scenario, which uses an ANT build file. How would I go about providing a reference to the xmlcatalog in the <xslt> task for that? By the way, I just now tried processing the document using an XSLT transformation scenario, and that works fine. Thank you for that tip. All I need now is a little guidance for the ANT transformation.

Hi Bob, How exactly do you process the XML file? Applying an XSLT using an XML + XSLT transformation scenario should use automatically the XML catalog set up in Oxygen. Are you using an ANT build file? If so did you provide in the <xslt> task a reference to the xmlcatalog? https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/style.html Regards, Radu Radu Coravu <oXygen/> XML Editor http://www.oxygenxml.com On 3/12/2019 6:45 PM, Bob McIlvride wrote: > Hi Radu, > > Thank you for the tips.
