Re: DOCBOOK: Tertiaryie Error

[Todd Babinski <todd.babinski@dynetics.com>]

According to the Definitive Guide, it is an empty tag.  The examples in
the guide indicate that you do not supply an end tag (and I use them in
the document in other places and there is no problem).  Just in case I
was using it completely wrong, I tried closing it and got an error
indicating that the close tag was found for an xref tag that was not
open.  Ah well.

Any other suggestions?
