Unless you have an XML catalog set up, your DOCTYPE declaration isn't
going to work. You need to point to the correct namespace for the
DocBook DTD (that's the "http://docbook.org/xml..." part in the
following declaration):
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
"http://docbook.org/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd" [
<!ENTITY colon ":"> <!-- COLON -->
<!ENTITY dollar "$"> <!-- DOLLAR SIGN -->
<!ENTITY mdash "—"> <!-- EM DASH -->
]>
<article id="index">
...
</article>
If you want a good test document to try out your tools, check out the
DB2-HOWTO.xml source and run your xslt transform on it. It was one of
the first HOWTO documents to convert to DocBook XML, and it has been
clean for quite some time (it helps that I haven't touched it for 8
months).
