Re: [xsl] specifying an alternate XML catalog file

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Robert,

Strictly speaking I think your question is off-topic since it's about 
your environment and tools setup, not XSL per se.

But you are setting up your XSLT processor, so ...

You should research this on line; both standard XML catalog 
mechanisms (the older "SGML Open" catalog and the newer XML catalog) 
include ways for a catalog to call in additional catalogs. That could 
be a simpler and a more robust solution than wiring it into your environment.

Ultimately it's an xsltproc question (or its parser's) since that's 
what's using the catalog.

Cheers,
Wendell
