/ Kraa de Simon <Simon.de.Kraa@services.fujitsu.com> was heard to say:
| Part of the TDG directory structure:
|
| ./book.xml
| ./bookbody.xml
| ./ch00.xml
| ./entities/content.ent
|
| In bookbody.xml the reference to "chapter 00" is:
|
| &ch00;
|
| In entities/content.ent all entities are referenced by ../ch00.xml but
| shouldn't this be ./ch00.xml?

No. Relative system identifiers must be resolved with respect to the base URI
of the file that contains the declarations. So "../ch00.xml" resolved
with respect to "entities/content.ent" results in a "ch00.xml" in the
same directory as book.xml.

| The XML editor that I use (XMetaL) cannot find the file ../ch00.xml and when
| I think about it I think he is right...
|
| Or not?

XMetaL bug, I think. The AElfred parser exhibits the same bug (or at least
some versions do).

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
