    <title>Introduction</title>
    <para>
      <application>xmlcatalog</application> is a command line application
      allowing users to monitor and manipulate <acronym>XML</acronym> and
      <acronym>SGML</acronym> catalogs. It is included in
      <application>libxml2</application>.
    </para>

    <para>
      Its functions can be invoked from a single command from the command line,
      or it can perform multiple functions in interactive mode. It can operate
      on both <acronym>XML</acronym> and <acronym>SGML</acronym> files.

	    is the original reference to 
	    be replaced, and <replaceable>'replace'</replaceable> is the
