Hi,
A catalog entry can resolve an entity reference. Can you describe
your catalog entries?
Have you tried using the catalog debugging feature of the parser?
What parser are you using?
Does the file still exist in the current directory? If you are using
xsltproc, then if it finds it in the current directory, it will use that and not
bother with executing a catalog lookup. I complained about this "feature"
to the developers of xsltproc, asking for at least an option to force catalog
retrieval, but I don't think it happened.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Shared entity
include file issues
All,
I have an ENTITY in the DOCTYPE for my documents that references an
entity file that I include. However, I want to move that to central directory
so that it can be available for other docs as well.
I would like to resolve it's location with a catalog file, but I am
having no luck adding it to my catalog file. The file is still looked for in
the current directory.
For example here is my source:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC
"-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN" "http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd"[
<!ENTITY
% xinclude SYSTEM "met-xinclude.mod">
<!ENTITY % met-defs
SYSTEM "met-defs.mod">
%xinclude;
%met-defs;
]>
<book>
<title>&DOC_TITLE;</title>
...
I would like to map the two mod files to a specific directory with a
catalog file. I have looked at Bob's section on "Using an
XML catalog to relocate dbgenent.mod" in
http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ModularEntities.html
But that kind of hides the info a bit plus it only works with one extra
include file, not two. It seems like a catalog should resolve an "ENTITY"
filename.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks,
Dean Nelson
