[oXygen-user] docbook validation

28 Apr 2005

      Hi,

I'm new to oXygen and this list so appologies if I break etiquette.

I'm having some problems with validating docbook with XIncludes.  If I validate
my book I receive four errors:

E|An element with the identifier "maintenance" must appear in the
document.|cu_article_introduction.xml|
E|An element with the identifier "figure.architecture" must appear in the
document.|cu_article_maintenance.xml|
E|An element with the identifier "figure.architecture" must appear in the
document.|cu_article_using.xml|
E|An element with the identifier "pkg.course_search_pkg" must appear in the
document.|cu_article_rendering.xml|

Within the file cu_article_maintenance.xml is the element <article
id="maintenance">...</article>
Within the file cu_article_introduction.xml is the element <figure
id="figure.architecture">...</figure>
Within the file cu_article_server_utilities.xml is the element <sect2
id="pkg.course_search_pkg">...</sect2>

Once validation has completed I restart it without making any changes and I
receive four validation errors - all of the same type - but some are different:

E|An element with the identifier "using" must appear in the
document.|cu_article_introduction.xml|
E|An element with the identifier "figure.architecture" must appear in the
document.|cu_article_maintenance.xml|
E|An element with the identifier "figure.architecture" must appear in the
document.|cu_article_using.xml|
E|An element with the identifier "proc.display_unit_list_param" must appear in
the document.|cu_article_rendering.xml|

Within the file cu_article_using.xml is the element <article
id="using">...</article>
Within the file cu_article_introduction.xml is the element <figure
id="figure.architecture">...</figure>
Within the file cu_article_server_utilities.xml is the element <sect2
id="proc.display_unit_public_list_param">...</sect2>

All elements that point to "maintenance" are <xref>
All elements that point to "using" are <xref>
All elements that point to "figure.architecture" are <xref>
All elements that point to "proc.display_unit_public_list_param" are <link>
All elements that point to "pkg.course_search_pkg" are <link>

My entire book is:

Within cu_article_introduction.xml is this snippet:

    <figure id="figure.architecture">

      <mediaobject>
        <imageobject>
          <imagedata fileref="tiers.png" format="PNG" />
        </imageobject>
      </mediaobject>
    </figure>

    <sect2>
      <title>Tier 1 - Maintain and Manage Course and Unit</title>

      <para><xref linkend="figure.architecture" /> displays the three tiers of
      the Course and Unit system. Tier 1 covers all areas involved with
      maintaining and managing the Course and Unit database. For more
      information about maintaining and managing Course and Unit, refer to
      <xref linkend="maintenance" />.</para>

I successfully transformed this book yesterday, and while I have made
modifications to cu_article_introduction.xml, cu_article_maintenance.xml, and
cu_article_using.xml since then, I have made no changes to
cu_article_rendering.xml or cu_article_server_utilities.xml.

I don't know if these problems are docbook or oxygen related, but I can't see
any problems with the xml (a full one-month's experience).  Any help coming my
way is gratefully acepted.

Thanks,

Geoff
