Errr, we are not getting confused?? An example is: <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML v4.1.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd" [ According to <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml>, the FROMAT IS doctypedecl :: '<!DOCTYPE' S Name (S ExternalID)? S? [...] ExternalID ::= [...] 'PUBLIC' S PubidLiteral S SystemLiteral WHERE: [...] = removed for clarity S = Whitespace SystemLiteral = "The SystemLiteral is called the entity's system identifier. It is a URI reference (as defined in [IETF RFC 2396], updated by [IETF RFC 2732]), meant to be dereferenced to obtain input for the XML processor to construct the entity's replacement text." Perhaps you were thinking of the PubidLiteral? -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
