Updating DITA to 1.2

[Julie Bergstrom]

I would like to use XML Copy Editor for some technical writing, but need to adhere to the newer DITA. I have copied all the DITA1.2 Specs (.dtd, .ent .mod) files that correspond to your existing files in ...\XML Copy Editor\dtd\dita, and even tinkered with adding entries (where different) to the catalog file in \catalogs. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help!

After downloaded
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/DITA1.2-dtds.zip

I extracted all the files to \XML Copy Editor\dtd\ and changed the catalog to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">

</catalog>

Here is the result:

The correct path should be:

<nextCatalog catalog="../dtd/dtd1.2/catalog-dita.xml"/>

Thanks for looking at this, Zane. However, I'm not sure that it is actually pulling the new 1.2 info? I am not seeing the new DITA 1.2 element types such as <text>, <bodydiv>, <sectiondiv>, etc. showing up in the right pane as choices. Thanks!</sectiondiv></bodydiv></text>

The cursor has to be inside the parent element before they can be displayed.
