Syntax

  library (public-identifier system-identifier)+

The library declaration is used to map the public identifier of an SGML/XML external text entity to a system identifier (system filename containing replacement text). In the library declaration, the public-identifiers and the system-identifiers are quoted strings:

  library "-//es//dtd for foo//en" "foo.dtd"
          "-//es//text for bar//en" "bar.txt"
          "-//es//text for baz//en" "baz.txt"
          "-//es//text for bat//en" "bat.txt"

There can be any number of library declarations in a program, but each public-identifier should have only one definition.

Note that library declarations can be put into a separate file, external to the main program, which can be referenced using the "-library" command-line option. Entries in the library file always take precedence over those in the OmniMark program.

OmniMark will look for the system identifier in the following order:

1. the current directory
2. the directory referenced in the library rule
3. the path indicated in the -libpath argument
