DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: XML_CATALOG_FILES

[Norman Walsh <ndw at nwalsh dot com>]

/ Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com> was heard to say:
|   Let's say it's a non-feature (and hence the name is not wisely chosen).
| I didn't tried to implement $XML_CATALOG_FILES handling as a list.
| I agree it's a bit confusing because xmllint and xsltproc handling of
| $SGML_CATALOG_FILES does use a list (blank or column separated).
| Implementing list handling for $XML_CATALOG_FILES would make sense,
| it's "just" a matter of coding :-) , the good point being that this
| should not break the existing working behaviour.

I'm certainly looking forward to this feature :-)

Putting XML Catalogs on your SGML_CATALOG_FILES list and then running
an SGML tool produces results that are, uhm, startling :-)

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
