RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Recursive Reference in XML DTD ??

[Stuart Farnan <stuart at neoworks dot com>]

I have written some more extensive code to get a little bit more info on the
error, and it now tells me the following:

        Line: 66
        URI: file:///usr/local/share/xml/docbook/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd
        Message: Recursive reference "%dbnotn;". (Reference path:
(top-level)-%dbhier;-%dbnotn;-%dbnotn;)

I cannot see it defined anywhere else.  If this is a new comment, then I
imagine the bug is in the Xerces parser (or surely everyone with a
validating parser would be noticing this!?), if anyone has any clues please
let me know.

Thanks again,

Stuart

I'm not sure but you should check the dbhier module: does it
redefine dbnotn?

I have'n the files, sorry.
