Re: FW: doctype declaration and msxmldom

Cheers,
Wendell

OK not a lot of responses. But here goes:

All I want to do is include some external character entity files (isopub,
isonum etc) because in my xml instance I have é è etc. The
only way I know how to do this is in the doctype declaration (assuming no
dtd) as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="fpir_web_wrapper_1.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE PUBLICATION
[<!ENTITY % isolat SYSTEM "..\..\character entities\isolat1.ent" >
<!ENTITY % isopub SYSTEM "..\..\character entities\iso-pub.ent" >
<!ENTITY % isonum SYSTEM "..\..\character entities\iso-num.ent" >
%isolat;
%isopub;
%isonum;
]>
<PUBLICATION>
...
</PUBLICATION>

IE6 opens file, no problems; saxon translates file, no problems, but the
msxmldom insists that if I have a doctype declaration I have to include a
dtd or a schema -- "The element PUBLICATION is used but not declared in the
dtd/schema"

Is that declaration correct?

Is there some other way of incorporating those character entity files so
that é becomes é?
Has no one else had any problems with this?
