Dear Allan,

thank you for the quick answer.
I have a problem verifying existing xml files as

/usr/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook # xmllint --valid --noout book.xml 
book.xml:14: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.FreeBSD.org/XML/share/xml/freebsd50.dtd"
]>
  ^
book.xml:18: element book: validity error : No declaration for attribute xmlns of element book
  xml:lang="en">
               ^
book.xml:18: element book: validity error : No declaration for attribute xmlns:xlink of element book
  xml:lang="en">
               ^
and so on. From my understanding the catalog files in /usr/doc/share/xml/
should handle that. I will dig the correct command line parameter.

Kind regards,

Christoph
