Hm... how did you go about to create the RNC file for DITA?  I remember
having a lot of problems with that back in 2006 or 2007 or thereabouts.

Hm... it would be more helpful if you could post your actual config
files and list the exact steps you did.  Going through that exercise may
show you where you went wrong, if that's the case.

No idea.  I'm a debian user. :-)

It does sound like you're not in nxml-mode.  What does the mode line
(the line with inverted text colours) say about what mode you're in?
The mode is listed inside "[(" and ")]", eg. like so "[(Fundamental)]".

Could you list what you did during the checking?  The steps you did and
ther results you found, as concretely as possible (don't be afraid to
use actual file names)?

Er... what search function...?
