Is there any option to load JATS DTD 1.1 in InDesign. I have downloaded JATS DTD from the link https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/publishing/1.1d1/dtd.html but i cannot load that in InDesign because it throws some error which is attached. Can anyone help me out?

Hi,

 

Did you ever solve this issue, I am experiencing the same issue.

 

Thank you!

  1. Are you using the latest DTD? For example, the original poster referenced verion 1.1.d1 (2013), but the latest is 1.3.d1 (2019).
  2. Did you download their ZIP file to your computer, and unzip a copy to your hard drive? DTDs work better when they are located on the local hard drive where InDesign is running, rather than from a server or (heavens forbid!) a URL.

 

I downloaded and installed 3 versions of JATS and was successfully imported.  Have not tried to process an xml file in InDesign: I don't have any handy at this time.

Hi,

I am experiencing the same with JATS 1.1 DTD.

How did you manage to import them without errors? What version did you finally use?

The sentence quoted from above: "..and it takes a few years to master its nuances..." it makes my hands to shake in terror!

 

Thanks,

It appears that DTD file is referencing an external entity. I'm not familiar with this DTD but have you downloaded that external entity as well as the DTD?

Dear chad thanks for your suggestion. I have downloaded that external entry too but still it throws error.
