This citation: <xref linkend="BrodyArticle"/> to this bibliography entry: <biblioentry id="BrodyArticle"> <abbrev>brody98</abbrev> <author>... </biblioentry> will generate this citation text: [brody98] At least with the XSL stylesheets.

There is the equation tag, but that requires a title. There is also informalequation, which does not require a title. You can enter math text this way: <informalequation> <mediaobject> <textobject> <phrase>Ψ(n,k)</phrase> </textobject> <mediaobject> <informalequation> For inline equations, use <inlineequation> and <inlinemediaobject>. -- 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
