RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: many errors from jade

[Phillip Shelton <shelton at usq dot edu dot au>]

Two comments. You will need to make sure that the xml.dcl file is being
added to you commandline before your source.

And, if the tools are calling Jade you will have to add the SGML entities
files to a catalog file.

Below is the line I use in a script to process my DocBook.xml files.

jade -t rtf -d d:\XML\sgml\stylesheets\db173\print\docbook.dsl
d:\XML\openjade-1.3\pubtext\xml.dcl %1
