   4       <span class="application">xmlcatalog</span> is a command line application
   5       allowing users to monitor and manipulate <span class="acronym">XML</span> and
   6       <span class="acronym">SGML</span> catalogs. It is included in
   7       <span class="application">libxml2</span>.
   8     </p><p>
   9       Its functions can be invoked from a single command from the command line,
  10       or it can perform multiple functions in interactive mode. It can operate
  11       on both <span class="acronym">XML</span> and <span class="acronym">SGML</span> files.

  27             'rewriteURI'. <i class="replaceable"><tt>'orig'</tt></i> is the original

  29             is the <span class="acronym">URI</span> of the replacement entity to be
