Hi all,
I've run out of ideas and places to look on this one, I hope someone can help.
The specs: WinXP Pro, Frame 8.0p277. Built-in DITA. Not using DITA Open Toolkit. No major issues except for previously discussed conref problems which, many thanks to Scott, seem to be under control.
The context: I'm a freelancer, on contract to a financial institution. I work part-time in my own office (up-to-date, preferred set-up) and part-time onsite. I can't go into detail, but the set-up is less than ideal. I have to do much back-and-forth portaging of project and template files, and they are often corrupted when I reopen them.
Specs onsite I'm not sure about, but it's definitely Frame 8 with the first patch. I'm pretty sure they haven't installed any others, so the 8.03 patch shouldn't be an issue. (I'll check and report back, if that info is needed.)
The error: Came out of the blue last week, my first day back in my office after three days onsite. Now, every time I open or create any xml file, using any template, I get an XML Read Report Log error that reports a failure to open the DTD, and a parse error in the document prolog. I don't know where it's coming from, and I don't know why it started happening. I modified structapps once, many months ago, but hadn't touched it since, and I've never touched the r/w rules files in either location.
(I realize I should test this scenario onsite, but I daren't risk importing trouble, if it started here.)
Specifically, the error reads: Could not open DTD file: C:\Documents and Settings\path-to-project-files-folder\ditabase.dtd Parse error at line 9, char 1: Error procssing external entity reference.
I don't understand why it's looking for the dtd file in the same folder as the project files when I've never stored it there, and I have the following in the structapps, and r/w rules files.
DTD: $STRUCTDIR\xml\dita\default-app\dtd\ditabase.dtd
Read/write rules: $STRUCTDIR\xml\dita\default-app\DITA-Topic-FM\topic.rules.txt
The R/W Rules statement reads: writer external dtd is public "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Composite//EN" "ditabase.dtd";
I can go completely cross-eyed after a few hours trying to parse these docs myself. The answer may well be right in front of me, but for the life of me I can't see it. I hope someone else can.
