I am learning structured Framemaker using the XML Cookbook with Frame 7.1. I made the EDD and ReadWrite Rules and now trying to open the practice XML document "ColorDoc.xml" that is supplied in the Cookbook. When I attempt this I get the following error message. "Could not open DTD file:" and then the path to the folder where the file exists. The end of the path is :"..../Framemaker Structured Practice/AppChapter.dtd". Should there be anothe r forward slash after "App"? When I check the EDD the last line is: writer external dtd is system "../App/Chapter.dtd". What do Ined to do?

Paul,

I don't have the cookbook in front of me, but your assumption seems correct. It sounds like the XML file you are trying to open points to a DTD called "AppChapter.dtd," which in turn sounds like a folder delimiter (slash) is missing. Open the XML file in some text editor and look at the DTD declaration in the beginning. If it is missing that delimiter, try adding it then reopening the file in Frame. Note, of course, that the DTD must still reside wherever the declaration is pointing.

I should also mention this... even if you solve the problem this way, it is curious as to how it occurred in the first place. Upon export, Frame writes the declaration automatically, so I'm wondering if something is wrong somewhere else as well.

Hello,

I was following along with the FrameMaker 8 XML round trip tutorial (in help) and when I exported to XML, it gave me a similar problem with regards to the DTD and the template.

I followed the directions correctly, but still haven't figured it out. So I agree with Russ about something somewhere else being wrong.
