Subject: RE: [docbook] inserting general entities
Thanks Bob, I put them in the same directory as 'dbgenent.mod' but that doesn't validate either (in xmlspy anyways). Second, you refer to a 'catalog system'. Is that in your book?

It is likely that your relative paths are not resolving. To quote the XML spec (4.2.2): "relative URIs are relative to the location of the resource within which the entity declaration occurs." That is 'section1.xml' is taken to be in the same directory as dbgenent.mod. If that isn't the case, you need to set up a catalog system so you can resolve your entities in a flexible manner.
