[oXygen-user] Setting up catalog files for W3C XML Schemas

Fri Mar 4 01:32:03 CST 2005

Hello,

You did not corrupt the default catalog. It just doesn't have a DOCTYPE 
declaration. You should use it with DocBook/TEI/XHTML/SVG/JSP documents 
*without* changing it in any way but if you want to validate it please 
take into account it is only a document like any other XML document. 
That means you must tell the parser what is the grammar with the 
constraints that the document must follow. If you add the following 
declaration above the element *catalog*

<!DOCTYPE catalog SYSTEM 
"http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd">

you will have no validation errors. You can view the DTD document with 
any Web browser by going to:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd

Best regards,
Sorin
