Hi,

when I start a new xml-file and attach a dtd via the function associate schema, choose dtd and open file (and choose a file),
I got one line included in my document like this:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE xupdate:modifications SYSTEM "file:/path/to/my.dtd">

This causes problems with other programs, since it's not the correct format for a file-resource (in my opinion).
It should say either

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE xupdate:modifications SYSTEM "file:///path/to/my.dtd">

or

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE xupdate:modifications SYSTEM "/path/to/my.dtd">

I tested it with version 4.0 (linux) and 4.1 (windows). The windows version makes no difference. The result there is

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE xupdate:modifications SYSTEM "file:/C:/path/to/my.dtd">

(not sure about the colon by now, Â´cos I dont have a windows-machine here)

I would call it a bug.

Greetings
Kassi

Dear Kassi,

The form added by oXygen is correct.
If you look up in the XML specification [1] the system identifier definition [2] you will see that it refers to an URI.
Following to the URI RFC 2369 [3] you can see in page 27 the BNF for URI. I will add below part of the productions that allow the form entered by oXygen:

URI-reference = [ absoluteURI | relativeURI ] [ "#" fragment ]
absoluteURI = scheme ":" ( hier_part | opaque_part )
hier_part = ( net_path | abs_path ) [ "?" query ]
abs_path = "/" path_segments
path_segments = segment *( "/" segment )
