Re: [xsl] Ignoring a DTD with document()

["Mark Giffin m1879@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Michael,

I'm using Saxon-PE 10.6 from inside Oxygen v24.1. I don't know what XML 
parser is used in this setup, I assume Xalan. This is the error I get:

I/O error reported by XML parser processing 
file:/C:/Users/mark/Desktop/company/ExportPub/myfile.xml: 
D:\DocTypes\dita-oasis\1.2\technicalContent\dtd\reference.dtd (The 
device is not ready)

I don't have a D: drive and that's probably why there is the "device is 
not ready" statement. The Saxon command line docs show a 
"-dtd:(on|off|recover)" option, which makes no difference using any 
option. I have managed to get around this using other methods, but I 
have learned that this neck of the woods has a few potholes. Good to know.

Mark
