What is in this DTD?

The stylesheets want to generate a TOC for a book.

A chapter...

And article in a chapter.... a TOC for that?

Without looking too hard...

The stylesheets are specifically for the DocBook DTD. The DocBook DTD
doesn't permit an ARTICLE within a CHAPTER.

So the strangeness may be because the stylesheets have not been adapted
for your DTD.

-V rtf-backend is a good idea when using the DocBook stylesheets.

Anyway, I don't know what you DTD is ... but it isn't DocBook!
And you example isn't a valid DocBook document.

So, I can't be of too much help I'm afraid.

Someone else might have a clue though.
