Out of curiosity, is it possible to work with (validate against) a DTD file stored as binary in BaseX? I imagine something like using a catalog to resolve DTD references in XML files to DTD files stored in BaseX might work.

Thanks,

Vincent

Hi Yvonne,

The canonical solution is to store and retrieve your file as binary
file [1]. Instead of fn:doc, you can use db:retrieve to access this
resource [1].

Hope this helps,
Christian
