Problems with specialization DTD
Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2017 10:10 am
Hi there,
I'm having some problems with a custom DTD I'm developing. Specifically, the following errors are bugging me:
These errors are produced by the following element declarations/references in the .mod file mentioned above:
This is a specialization of the DITA concept module. The `The entity ELEMENT was referenced, but not declared.` errors seem to only concern elements that are declared in the concept module and not in my specialization.
However, the concept .dtd and .mod files are included in my specialization's .dtd file, and the code I pasted above is the only part, where these references cause a problem. For instance, later on in the same .mod file there are these references that don't cause the same problem:
Also, the last error is one I have no idea about: "A '(' character or an element type is required in the declaration of element type "faq-question"."
These errors were not present all the time during the development of this specialization. I managed to transform a test file that was written according to this DTD without any errors. It just seemed to come out of nowhere, as I was editing the XSLT files for my plugin. The XSLT shouldn't have anything to do with this, right?
I'm using Oxygen XML 17.1 and the DITA OT 2.x for transformation. The same errors occurred when using the earlier version of DITA OT.
Does anyone have an idea, what's going on here, because I can't wrap my head around this?
