Locating the DTD (the Catalog File)

To locate the DTD, the editor matches the value for PUBID to an entry in its catalog file.

The following are examples of entries in an ArborText catalog file on a Windows system:

PUBLIC "-//ArborText//DTD Article 950601//EN" "article/article.dtd
PUBLIC "-//ArborText//DTD Book 950601//EN" "book/book.dtd"
PUBLIC "-//ArborText//DTD freeform//EN" "freeform/freeform.dtd"
PUBLIC "-//ArborText//DTD freeform//EN" "freeform/freeform.dtd"
PUBLIC “-//ArborText//DTD Shakespeare 930801//EN” “D:/DTDfiles/pla
|_________________________________________________________________|
                            the PUBID value
                           used in the example
                         under “Building the Header”

Noting the example used in Building the Header, when you open a Contenta object, the editor is directed to a DTD named play.dtd on the D: drive in the directory /DTDfiles.

If your catalog file does not contain an entry that matches the value you stored for PUBID, edit the file and add the value of the PUBID and the path to the DTD. Follow the syntax in the file to make the edits.
