Right.

I will add the entities.tag generated by loading the above dtd file to 
the CVS. ;-)

Did you assign the toolbars to that DTD?

You know, it's on my todo list. :-) Just that it's not fun to hack on 
that laptop. Fix should come today.

Right now not, because they are on standard KDE toolbars and there is no 
logic in Quanta to disable those actions based on the loaded DTD. But 
one can remove the actions from the toolbars and add them to a user 
toolbar, which can be loaded when the project is loaded (using project 
views).

I'm sorry that I couldn't help with this one. :-( It's really bad that 
it doesn't work for you. Anyone there/here using Mandriva (aside of 
Carlos)?
