My site (www.sagehill.net) has two additional resources that might help you. - LiveDTD is a tool for converting a DTD to a hypertext document. It lets you jump around the DocBook DTD to see where something is declared. I wrote it specifically to maintain my sanity while creating a customized DocBook DTD. In the Demonstration section, there is an example of a customized version of DocBook 3 that you can examine. You can download the livedtd.pl Perl script and apply it to your own DTD as you develop it. - A slide presentation "Customizing the DocBook DTD" that I presented at an O'Reilly conference. It covers much the same territory as The Definitive Guide. But the key pages are "Order is important", which indicate in which modular docbook file to make specific kinds of changes. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
