Re: [docbook-apps] Entity not defined

Hi,

Actually, those entities are defined in the DocBook 
DTD.  It seems that the processor is no longer able to find the DTD.  
That is odd, given that you are using a relative path for the system identifier 
in the DOCTYPE.

Thanks, I guess I could. But, it does not yet make sense to me 
  to add entities because I switched from Saxon to Xlstproc. I was assuming that 
  I need an argument to add to declare those standard entities.
