Entities again!

["Chris Johnson" <cjohnson@capcollege.bc.ca>]

Hi,

On the advice of a few list members on a WIN32 XSL proceesing system
that can handle entities and catalogs, I have installed Cygwin with
xsltproc. I *still* can't get the following external parameter entity
reference to work:

I am using DocBook XML V4.2, DocBook XSL V1.61.3.

test-resolve.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";

[
<!ENTITY % CommonEntities SYSTEM "../common/entities-test.xml">
%CommonEntities;
]>

<book lang="en"><title>Test Entity Resolution</title>
<bookinfo>
&chris;
</bookinfo>

<chapter id="bgt-data">
  <title>Data Entry</title>

  <sect1 id="bgt-data-cost">
    <title>Cost Centres</title>
    <para>The Cost Centres data entry page allows some users to
maintain
      (add, delete and edit) information relating to cost centres.
Other users
      (most users) will have read-only access to cost centre
information.</para>
  </sect1>
</chapter>
</book>

entities-test.xml:

<!-- Chunks of text -->
<!-- <!entity titlestandard SYSTEM "titlestandard.xml"> -->

<!-- People (authors and othercredits) -->
<!entity chris
"<author><firstname>Chris</firstname><surname>Johnson</surname></author>">

In Cygwin, I get the following errors:

K:///DATA/RESTRICT/FAMIS/help/xml/common/entities-test.xml:4: error:
xmlParseInt
ernalSubset: error detected in Markup declaration
<!entity chris
"<author><firstname>Chris</firstname><surname>Johnson</surname></^

K:///DATA/RESTRICT/FAMIS/help/xml/common/entities-test.xml:4: error:
DOCTYPE improperly terminated
<!entity chris
"<author><firstname>Chris</firstname><surname>Johnson</surname></^

K:///DATA/RESTRICT/FAMIS/help/xml/common/entities-test.xml:4: error:
Start tag expected, '<' not found
<!entity chris
"<author><firstname>Chris</firstname><surname>Johnson</surname></ ^

unable to parse
K:///DATA/RESTRICT/FAMIS/help/xml/main/test-resolve.xml

Any thoughts on this most appreciated.

Cheers,
