Hi,

I've hit a few problems with DOCTYPE and I wondered if there are 
solutions or if I'm approaching this from the wrong angle.

Our german documents contain characters which I've resolved with the
following DOCTYPE:

<!DOCTYPE article
[
<!ENTITY % HTMLlat1 PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1 for XHTML//EN" 
"http://www.martin.com/DTD/xhtml-lat1.ent">
%HTMLlat1;
]>

The DOCTYPE was necessary to avoid problems in .NET transform code on 
our site. As I said, the above DOCTYPE works fine in this situation.

The problems start when I try to work on my laptop which is frequently 
disconnected from the internet. At this point my transform .NET code 
fails again as it cannot reach www.martin.com. To solve this I've 
changed the url to http://localhost/DTD/xhtml-lat1.ent and all is well 
again. Except that the documents need to be edited - locahost replaced 
with www.martin.com - as I move back and forth from laptop to desktop.

Any advice would be appreciated. I'm a relative xml/xsl newbie so please 
feel free to state the obvious in case I've missed it :)

Martin
