Re: [docbook-apps] including xhtml questions

Hi Bob,
yes, that's what I was asking, but seeing it written out so plainly
(and not fuzzily in my brain), it's looks like a silly question.  I do
*wish* I could hand over a single file when I need to share, but I
guess it will have to be a zip and not a DB XML.

thanks,
--Tim
