Re: DOCBOOK: Queries on docbookx.dtd and soextblx.dtd

[ed nixon <ed.nixon@lynnparkplace.org>]

If I'm not mistaken, this question of yours has already been answered in 
an earlier response. It appears that you are using a processing tool 
that thinks the input you provide is SGML, not XML. The minimization 
error, i.e. '-' and 'o' should tell you that; there is no such construct 
in XML.

I'm on less firm ground with your second question but I suspect it is a 
related problem and might go away if you were to use an XML processor 
for your work.

If you were to provide more information, as was requested earlier, for 
example the processor you are using, the list could probably help you in 
more detail and more efficiently.
