Re: [docbook-apps] catalog file runaround

[Tristan Fiedler <fiedler at cshl dot edu>]

I had a similar error which with a previous version of DocBook, and it  
required the following fix (no longer needed though):



<!--  Error in DocBook 4.3 requires this.  Should be fixed in 4.4
This tag can be modified in case another element from the catalog can't  
be resolved
    <public
       publicId="-//OASIS//ELEMENTS DocBook XML HTML Tables V4.4CR2//EN"
       uri="docbook-xml-4.3/htmltblx.mod"/>
-->

I had this uncommented in my catalog file, and it took care of things.   
Not needed with 4.4CR2 and XSL 1.67.2.  Not sure if this is your  
problem but seemed related.

Cheers,        Tristan
