Hi Erich,I would suggest that you test lookups for the w3c-dtd-xhtml DTD package by running diferent tests for both SGML and XML catalogs.
(We really could use a test suite for this: volunteers??)'Sounds like you're already familiar with the XML catalog system and how to test your package against it, so I waont make any suggestions hee.
OTOH, you really should test it against the SGML catalog system; the simplest wayI can think of is to load into emacs a testfile that contains the approporiate prolog, and to see if emacs can find the DTD. In emacs, the default parser (AFAIK) is (o)nsgmls, which works quite well with emacs,
If emacs can't find the DTD, check that the validation argument contains a path to the XML declaration: xml.dcl. If not, add it to the validation command & see what happens. I emacs still can't locate the DTD, you might want to look into registering the package DTDs in the SGML catalog system.
If your user is still having problems, please keep me in the loop. I'm itching to take care of my debian responsibilities. (bugs, uncompleted policy docs, etc.)
HTH. Cheers, Mark Erich Schubert wrote:
Hi, before uploading the w3c-dtd-xhtml package i ran a quick test. for example "xmllint -nonet somefile.html" worked without complaining. I remember it should have complained if it weren't capable of accessing the appropriate DTD offline. But i have had a custom hacked version installed before, maybe there were leftovers.
