Is there any recommended way to do this? Actually, the DTD permits more than one title and subtitle in bookinfo. You could assign a role attribute to distinguish them, and customize the stylesheets to respond to the role value. > - The journal makes liberal use of sidebars, but some of these sidebars are > beyond what DocBook defines as sidebars -- they can span multiple pages, > have their own sections, and even have sub-sidebars.

It has a 'type' attribute that can take values like 'references' and 'isreferencedby'. > 2) What is the proper way to reference these > extracted articles from within the main article content? You could use xref and link. -- 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
