clarify DTD/spec interaction

Garth T Kidd — Fri, 27 Jul 2001 02:39:29 -0000

The following is valid given the gpdi DTD::

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "gpdi.dtd">
<document>
<author>this is the document's author</author>
<section name="section title">
<title>title doesn't match section name</title>
<author>different author</author>
</section>
</document>

I'm not sure whether to try and fix the DTD, or amend
the reStructuredText specification around line 496 of
revision 1.1.1.1 to permit field lists after section
titles.

I suspect the DTD should enforce <title> after
<section>, in which case people can infer the name of
the section from the title. I've forgotten my XSLT
syntax, but it's not *that* hard.

ppdi.dtd doesn't validate

Garth T Kidd — Wed, 25 Jul 2001 05:01:06 -0000

``ppdi.dtd`` isn't validating with XMLSpy. Errors
include problems referring to ``gpdi.dtd`` and an
ampersand which looks like it should be a percent
sign.

Please see the attached context diff for fixes.

For ``ppdi.dtd`` to validate, the context diff must be
applied, ``gpdi.dtd`` must be fixed as per tracker
item #444347, and ``calstblx.dtd`` must be added as
per tracker item #444342.

gpdi.dtd doesn't validate

Garth T Kidd — Wed, 25 Jul 2001 04:56:35 -0000

``gpdi.dtd`` isn't validating with XMLSpy. Errors
include a malformed definition of xml:space, missing
underscores in list definitions, and a malformed
reference to ``calstblx``.

Please see the attached context diff for fixes.

A local copy of ``calstblx.dtd`` is needed as well as
the changes in the diff, as pointed out in tracker
item #444342.

add spec/calstblx.dtd to dps

Garth T Kidd — Wed, 25 Jul 2001 04:46:03 -0000

``gpdi.dtd`` isn't validating with XMLSpy for various
reasons, including that due to a lack of repository
support XMLSpy couldn't find ``calstblx.dtd``.

I'm posting a patch that makes a few fixes to
``gpdi.dtd`` so that it validates, amongst them an
addition to the definition of ``%calstblx`` that tells
the validator where to find a local copy of the
document.

For the patch to work, ``calstblx.dtd`` must be
present in the spec/ directory. I have attached to
this tracker item the copy I cut and pasted from:
