Re: SGML validation

Hi,

for validation I use osgmls from the OpenJade project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openjade and activate it like this:

(if (eq 'windows-nt system-type)
    (progn
     (defun custom-xml-behavior() "Sets custom behavior for sgml mode"
       (interactive)
       (setq sgml-indent-data t)
       (setq sgml-declaration "c:/prog/sgml/dtd/xml.dcl")
       (setq sgml-validate-command "c:/prog/bin/onsgmls -wxml  -c
c:/prog/sgml/dtd/docbookx42/docbook.cat -s %s %s"))
      (add-hook 'xml-mode-hook 'custom-xml-behavior)
      )
)

The xml.dcl comes with openjade. The catalog for docbook is specified on
the onsgmls commandline.

For the DOCTYPE declaration I only have a work-around. The XML file looks
like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
"file:///c:/prog/sgml/dtd/docbookx42/docbookx.dtd"
 [
<!ENTITY % novalisEnts SYSTEM "novalisEntities.ent">
%novalisEnts;
]>

<?xml-stylesheet href="novalisBookStyle_html.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>

<book>
  &novalisContent;
</book>


If I want to validate I take out the "file:///..." line altogether.  When I
transform (using saxon) I leave it in. Not really elegant. But I never got
validation with onsgmls *and* transforming with XSL to work on the
identical file.
