Hi All,

I have an xml file extracted from a FrameMaker file.
This xml file acts as an input for my xslt file to generate another xml file.
The input xml file contains declarations for figure entities, with notation.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE Section [
<!NOTATION cgm SYSTEM "">
<!ENTITY Figure1 SYSTEM "Figure11.cgm" NDATA cgm>
]>
<Section>
...
<Figure width = "9.000in" entity = "Figure1"/>
...
</Section>
Now on this input xml if I come thro' the <figure> element, I have to give link to that particular image file (Figure11.cgm), on output xml file. i.e, if I open the output xml file in FrameMaker, the Figure should be present in the <figure> place.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks,
rame

This is what the rarely-used function unparsed-entity-uri() is for.

Its working fine Mike. Thank you.

Mike, the above results in giving the whole path of the figure. But in FrameMaker an error arise like "Bad entity name". Is there any solution.
Or other way is that, its ok that the output contain the same input <Figure ....> tag and the DOCTYPE like one mentioned below.

<!DOCTYPE Root [
<!NOTATION cgm SYSTEM "">
<!ENTITY Figure1 SYSTEM "Figure1.cgm" NDATA cgm>
]>

The unparsed-entity-uri() function is defined to return the absolute URI of the resource, because its relative URI in general doesn't mean anything outside the context of the original source document. If you want to make it relative again (either to the original base URI or to some other base URI) then you'll have to do that work yourself.

I'm not sure where the "bad entity name" comes into it. You should be using the result where a URI is expected, not where an entity name is expected.

Thanks Mike. I have cleared the ENTITY error by adding some templates.
