RE: [docbook-apps] Validation Question
Bob,

That would explain the errors.

I am using 4.2. Perhaps I will move up to
a newer DTD. Are there any things I should watch out for if a move to 4.4 or
4.5?

Cheers,

Eric

The XInclude process adds xml:base attributes to your
elements when they are pulled from different directories. That is so relative
paths in those files can be kept track of.  The DocBook DTD added xml:base
as a common attribute starting in version 4.3, so you must be using a DTD older
than that.

Validation Question

 

When validating a book that uses xincludes I get the
following errors:

Validation of overview.xml with xmllint:

Parsing took 62 ms

Xinclude processing took 1328 ms

../common/legalblurb.xml:3: element legalnotice: validity error : No
declaration for attribute base of element legalnotice

../common/copynotice.xml:4: element legalnotice: validity error : No
declaration for attribute base of element legalnotice

../common/copydate.xml:4: element copyright: validity error : No declaration
for attribute base of element copyright

overview.xml:7: element section: validity error : No declaration for attribute
base of element section

overview.xml:6: element section: validity error : No declaration for attribute
base of element section

overview.xml:6: element section: validity error : No declaration for attribute
base of element section

overview.xml:3: element section: validity error : No declaration for attribute
base of element section

overview.xml:3: element section: validity error : No declaration for attribute
base of element section

Document overview.xml does not validate

Validating took 16 ms

Freeing took 15 ms

 

The book runs through the XSLT without a hitch and all of
the individual file validate. What am I missing?

 

TIA,

Eric J.
