Re: [docbook] Newbie question - what schema should I use?

[Jose Gonzalez Gomez <jgonzalez@opentechnet.com>]

    Mark, Bob,

    Could I have that document to take a look at it?

    Juat another question, do you use CVS? This is another thing I'm 
taking into account, because a lonely big xml docbook could be more 
difficult to control than several small ones because of continuated 
conflicts, merges, etc.

    Thank you very much, regards
    Jose
