Specifying the system ID

For valid XML and SGML documents, it is necessary to provide the document type definition (DTD) for the new documents. epcEdit will need to analyse the DTD in order to ensure the validity of the documents that will be created.

The DTD can be specified by a system ID (which is a file name or a URL) or by a public ID which is resolved by the system catalog. This dialog is for entering the system ID; you can skip this dialog if the DTD should be specified by a public identifier (which can be entered on the next screen)

In this dialog, you can enter the system ID for the DTD to be used by document created with the new template. Instead of entering the filename by hand, you can click on the Browse button for selecting a file.

Please note that you do need to enter a system ID if you want to acess the DTD by using a public identifier. More specifically, you can

• Enter only a system ID that specifies the filename containing the DTD. epcEdit will use the DTD in the file specified by the ystem ID.
• Leave the system ID entry blank and specify a public ID in the following dialog. epcEdit will resolve the public ID by acessing the system catalog.
• Provide a system ID in this dialog and specify a public ID in the next dialog. In this case, the system ID will override the public ID if it could be resolved to an exisitng filename.
• Omit both system and public ID. In this case, the system catalogs will be consulted to determine which DTD to use for the given document type. Please note this approach is discouraged because not all SGML systems support catalog lookup for the DTD.

After you have entered the appropriate value in the wizard dialog, you can continue with the next screens of the template wizard by pressing the Next button
