    James,

    I'm not all that familiar with XML catalogs; however, the DTD I was referring to is located at http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd .

    You would then change the DOCTYPE declaration in your SVG files to: <!DOCTYPE svg SYSTEM "svg10.dtd">

    Good Day,

    I am using XML catalogs. However, what DTD would I use in this case?

    Regards,

    James

    Greetings,

    Couldn't he just download the DTD, place it the same directory as his SVG files, and change the DOCTYPE declaration?

    Thank You,
    Mike Grimley

    James,

    You probably mean that you are unable to render these SVGs on a computer that has no Internet access. This may happen because of the DTD reference:
    by the XML spec, the XML parser has to access the DTD in order to resolve entities.

    If you are using XEP for Java, then the most straightforward method of resolving the issue consist in leveraging XML catalogs. You can read about it in XEP User Guide:

    http://xep.xattic.com/xep/doc/userguide.html#URI_Resolution

    Alternatively, you could simply postprocess the resulting SVG, e.g.
    by applying an XSLT identity transformation to them. This would remove all remote DTD references, and resolve all entities.
    Please note that you will need to add catalog support to the XSLT processor if you want this process to be performed without network access; this is processor-dependent, so please refer to the documentation of your XSLT processor.

    The rest of your entities are just namespace URIs. They never get resolved, and should not pose any problem.

    Best regards,
