Re: Adding entity declarations to DOCTYPE in xml outpu

Now there's a thought.  I've been hesitant in the past to have a local version
of an international standard, since any release of a new version would then
require re-doing our local customizations, but it's worth considering --
especially since we're using an older (and therefore fixed) version of EAD at
this point anyway.  Thanks for the idea!

Do you have to have it as

<!DOCTYPE ead PUBLIC "+//ISBN 1-931666-00-8//DTD ead.dtd (Encoded Archival
Description (EAD) Version 2002)//EN" "../ead_dtd/ead.dtd" [ <!ENTITY sua_name
SYSTEM "sua_name.txt"> <!ENTITY sua_address SYSTEM "sua_address.txt"> <!ENTITY
subjindex SYSTEM "sua_index.txt"> <!ENTITY summitref SYSTEM "summit_ref.txt">
]>

or can you re-arrange to

<!DOCTYPE ead SYSTEM "ead-local.dtd">


where ead-local.dtd is something like

<!ENTITY % ead PUBLIC "+//ISBN 1-931666-00-8//DTD ead.dtd (Encoded Archival
Description (EAD) Version 2002)//EN" "../ead_dtd/ead.dtd" > <!ENTITY sua_name
SYSTEM "sua_name.txt"> <!ENTITY sua_address SYSTEM "sua_address.txt"> <!ENTITY
subjindex SYSTEM "sua_index.txt"> <!ENTITY summitref SYSTEM "summit_ref.txt">
%ead;



That way you just need to specify ead-local.dtd  to xslt via doctype-system.
