Example DocBook catalog file

Example DocBook catalog file
	Chapter 4. XML catalogs

Here is a complete example of an XML catalog file that can resolve PUBLIC and SYSTEM identifiers for the DocBook DTD, and references to stylesheets. It assumes all the DocBook files are stored under /usr/share/xml so the group xml:base="/usr/share/xml/" element provides the main pathname prefix. You would need to replace that path with your own. If your system puts the stylesheet under a different location from the DTD, then you would need two group elements to specify the two xml:base values.
