Hi,

I downloaded the complete sgml/dtd tgz file from 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/

Then I use the -c option to refer to xhtml.soc from that tar file.

But css2xslfo says:


Line 4: PUBLIC or SYSTEM expected

However line 4 does start with PUBLIC. is this not the correct catalog 
format to use?

Thanks
