When I try and validate an XML document in PSGML mode with onsgmls
sgml-declaration is used as the first argument instead of sgm-xml-declaration.
I'm using Emacs 21.1.1 on Linux (Mandrake 8.2) and psgml 1.2.4.
The following variables are set in my .emacs:
(setq sgml-declaration "/usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1/docbook.dcl")
(setq sgml-xml-declaration "/usr/share/sgml/openjade/pubtext/xml.dcl")
The value of sgml-validate-command is unchanged from the default:
sgml-validate-command's value is
"nsgmls -wxml -s %s %s"
Local in buffer test.xml; global value is "nsgmls -s %s %s"
Say I have a buffer like so:
======================================================================
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-GB">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a Test</p>
</body>
</html>
<!--
Local Variables:
mode: xml
sgml-default-dtd-file:"~/lib/DTD/xhtml11/xhtml11.ced"
End:
-->
======================================================================
The mode line indicates that I am indeed in xml-mode, and
M-x describe-variable sgml-xml-p
returns
sgml-xml-p's value is t
Local in buffer top.xml; global value is nil
However, whenever I try and valdate my document the command I am prompted to
accept is:
nsgmls -wxml -s /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1/docbook.dcl test.xml
Note that it correctly picks up the -wxml option but seem to use
sgml-declaration instead of sgml-xml-declaration for the first argument.
I have been trying to get PSGMl set up for days now, and I'm beginning to lose
focus. Am I missing something totally stupid?
Best, Darren

According to the documentation this is what is expected.
,----[ C-h v sgml-validate-command ]
| sgml-validate-command's value is "onsgmls -s %s %s"
|
| Documentation:
| *The shell command to validate an SGML document.
|
| This is a `format' control string that by default should contain two
| `%s' conversion specifications: the first will be replaced by the
| value of `sgml-declaration' (or the empty string, if nil); the
| second will be replaced by the current buffer's file name (or the
| empty string, if nil).
`----
Defining the sgml-validate-command as a list and not a string is maybe
what you need. Please, read the complete C-h v sgml-validate-command
for details.

Hmmm - then what is the purpose of the variable sgml-xml-declaration? or
example, the sgml-validate-command is sensitive to whether the buffer is in
xml-mode or sgml-mode; in the former it is
onsgml -wxml -s %s %s
whereas in the latter it is
onsgml -s %s %s
I had understood that the whole point of having separate sgml-declaration and
sgml-xml-declaration was that the former would be substituted for the first
%s in sgml-validate-command when in sgml-mode, and that the latter would be
when in xml-mode. Am I misunderstanding that?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Could you elaborate? I'm pretty clueless
when it comes to list ...

I have.
Thanks for your help.

Have you looked at my XML Authoring Environment for Emacs
at http://xae.sunsite.dk? It is intended to ease the pain
for newcomers of using Emacs to create and transform XML
documents. It includes psgml, the Docbook DTD, and saxon
and a menu of commands for transforming documents, including
a command that transforms and displays Docbook documents
in the default Emacs HTML browser (Internet Explorer on
my system).

Yes, I have. I may investigate it further in the future, but as it stands
psgml together with well set up catlog files should fit my needs.

I installed this, but like the SGML/XML package that comes standard with
Emacs 21.2, when I try to validate, my XML documents are misinterpreted as
SGML, and thus hundreds of errors are generated. It's not a problem for me
because I am already using the TEI package to validate my XML without
problems, but I just thought I would mention it.
