Hi Korky,

 did you sent the mail intentionaly in private? I say, let's move back 
to the list. I just CC'd because:
- KMail does that
- you read the digest, so you got this way faster

Ok, I was just checking.

This way you should have a new DTEP created. It is clear that if you 
have downloaded only the .dtd file it will not work as that one 
includes other files. Download the zip file from 
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.3/, unzip it and try again. I 
used:
- target dir: docbook-4.3
- Name: -//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN
- nickname: DocBook XML 4.3
- !DOCTYPE line: <!DOCTYPE preface PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML 
V4.3//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd">
- URL: http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd
- extnsion: xml
 
OK->OK->DO NOT USE

Settings->Configure Quanta->Environment->Default DTD: DocBook XML 
4.3->OK

Project->Close Project (if you had an opened project)
Window->Close

The empty document and any newly created document will be a DocBook XML 
4.3 one. I tried, autocompletion works fine.

Now to load the other docbook toolbars: DTD->Edit DTD Settings->DocBook 
XML 4.3->OK.
Toolbar folder: docbook
Autoloaded toolbars: docbook_code, docbook_table, docbook_ui, 
docbook_xml, xmltools

Unfortunately at this stage you have to restart Quanta in order to see 
the effect of the changes, mainly to load the docbook 4.2 toolbars  
(not the KDE version!). 

There are some other Docbook only toolbars on www.kde-apps.org as well.

If you have problems, I'm ready to send you the whole new DTEP.

Validation: I have no idea how the validation against "External" DTD 
works, but for me using DTD Internal checks the document if you are 
online as it gets the docbookx.dtd from the web. You may try to play 
more with this and the checkxml.kmdr and meinproc.kmdr from the Scripts 
toolview. First put them on a toolbar.
Alternatively you can write your own Kommander script which calls the 
validation tools with the right arguments and invoke it from Quanta.

Transforming: the last comment applies here as well. I am no expert in 
the xslt tool as well, but I can help you to adjust the Kommander 
script if you tell me what arguments do you need to supply for it.
