I disagree with most people on two points here.
1. Not requiring a network connection makes sense. The software could use a
local copy before checking the internet.
2. While embossing is important, much of the work done translating textbooks
will likely be distributed in electronic format. We still need a good rendering
engine, but that is another story.

The answer is yes unless you want to edit the doctype processing instruction. I
would have prefered that most if not all documents use a SYSTEM URL but but
apparently most seem to think requiring a network connection isn't a problem.

Thanks for the info. So I guess that the short answer for most documents is yes
an Internet connection is required.
Best regards from Ohio,

Hi Vic and John.
Most of the DAISY files I have encountered do use a "PUBLIC" URL for the DTD
and these do fail. We could make them ignore that but it would cause other
problems. The DTD is what is used to determine, among other things, what
whitespace is part of the document.
Some of them do use a "system" DTD which means that the DTD is somewhere on the
local file system, usually in the directory with the book. I haven't worked
with Word-to-DAISY and so don't know what if anything you might do to force it
to use a system DTD.
You can of course edit it by hand. The system DTD declaration, actually a
"processing instruction" looks like:
<!doctype dtbook SYSTEM "dtbook-2005-3.dtd">

John,
I tried opening two different files with the same result. They were just the
normal files I have been testing with that were created with the DAISY for Word
plug-in. I could attach them if necessary.
Best regards from Ohio,
Vic

Vic,
It looks like it was trying to access a DTD on the Internet. This shouldn't
happen for all files.
