Subject: RE: DOCBOOK: Target is only technical docs?
Tim, The modular design of the dtd also makes it easy to pull parts into another dtd of your own creation. For example, you might create a resume.dtd that at some points allows docbook paras (and the paras take the standard docbook inlines). See http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/ch05.html. I do know of a resume dtd <https://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlresume>, but unfortunately it doesn't use docbook in this way, so one of its weaknesses is a lack of inline elements. I've been meaning to post that as a suggestion for that project.
