I can put a DTD at the top of the included file and it validates in Emacs.
<!DOCTYPE book [
<!ENTITY % prompt.user SYSTEM "../../../../share/xml/freebsd.ent"> %prompt.user;
<!ENTITY % man.csh.1 SYSTEM "../../../../share/xml/man-refs.ent"> %man.csh.1;
]>
But, if I do that, putting the book together by running make on the supplied
Makefile fails.
It does not look like this book is using XInclude.
<books/fdp-primer> % grep -ir xinclude .
returns nothing.
Is there a way, other than creating a DTD in the included file, to satisfy the
validator when it's only validating that included file?
Maybe I'll look into configuring nxml-mode to ignore the missing entity
definitions.
Thanks,
Joseph
