Re: Check error in scan DTD--Description my question in detail--S orry

[Shawn Wilson <la...@hotmail.com>]

You should be able to accomplish this as follows:

=== dummy.xml ===
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE dummyroot SYSTEM "dummy.dtd">
<dummyroot/>


=== dummy.dtd ===
<!ENTITY % thedtd SYSTEM
   "the-real-dtd.dtd">
%thedtd;

That may or may not be the exact syntax, but it should be close.
