declare_file_entity
declare_file_entity name [sysid [pubid [type]]]
This alias creates a file entity reference, prompting for input as necessary.
name is the file entity name, which is used to construct the reference. If you enter the name of a file entity that has already been declared and there are no conflicts with system and public identifiers for that entity, information from the existing declaration is used. If there are conflicts, you are prompted to resolve them. If the name you supply is unique, this alias constructs a file entity declaration for the new document and adds this declaration to the private markup section of the document instance being edited.
* 
If the system identifier or the public identifier includes spaces or special characters (characters other than letters, digits, and underscores), it needs to be enclosed in quotation marks.
sysid is the system identifier, or path name, for the file entity.
pubid is the public identifier for the file entity. The identifier must be mapped in one of the catalog files in the directories identified by the set catalogpath option (typically the doctypes subdirectory of Arbortext-path). When entered from a command file or the command line, the public identifier must be enclosed in quotation marks.
type is the type of entity. SUBDOC is the only supported option.
dfe is a synonym for declare_file_entity.
