Distributed CCF Files
Arbortext Editor and Arbortext Publishing Engine distribute a set of CCF files for performing web, PDF, and HTML publishing using user-provided stylesheets. These CCF files use entities to modularize filter definitions so they can be reused.
For example, most CCF files use EpicGenerator as the start filter. This filter takes a Arbortext Editor document and generates SAX events that become inputs in the pipeline. The EpicGeneratorFilterDef element is an entity, epicGenerator.ent, and is included in the CCF files that require it.
The entity definitions are stored in the stock.ent file, which is located at Arbortext-path\composer. The entity files are found using normal catalog resolution.
The following example illustrates how the epicGenerator.ent and fileSerializer.ent entities are defined in the stock.ent entity:
<ENTITY epicGenerator PUBLIC
"-//Arbortext//ENTITIES Epic Generator//EN" "epicGenerator.ent">
<ENTITY fileSerializer PUBLIC
mposer"-//Arbortext//ENTITIES File Serializer//EN" "fileSerializer.ent">
