That's why we all are asked to use ISO notation these days; if you really think a DATE element is needed give it a PCDATA content and use: <date>2001-01-08</date> Otherwise, Karsten M. Self is completely right. And don't try to make the DocBook DTD a catch all DTD ;) Historian who want all kind of "strange" date systems should try to check out "kleio" (κλειω), developed at the MPI Göttingen (Manfred Thaller). But it's not based on SGML (1992); I don't know the exact status. -- work : ke@suse.de | ,__o : http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | _-\_<, home : keichwa@gmx.net | (*)/'(*)
