You can create a single file containing all of your shared entity
declarations and then include it in each of your files.
For example, you could have a file named "global.ent" that would look
something like:
<!ENTITY mystring "My String">
<!ENTITY another_string "Another String">
Then, the DOCTYPE declaration for each file would be:
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook 4.2 XML//EN" "http://www...." [
<!ENTITY % global_entities SYSTEM "global.ent">
%global_entities;
]>
(Note the use of the percent sign (%) when declaring such "parameter
entities" that include DTD declarations.)
