Re: writing HOWTO in DocBook 3.1 SGML

[Mark Komarinski <markk@cgipc.com>]

You're not writing in 3.1, you're writing in 3.0.  Big
difference, at least when it comes to output.

Your first line should look like this:

<!DOCTYPE ArticlePUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN">

(I did this from memory, so it might be slightly off. Check one of the
existing HOWTOs (like the HOWTO-HOWTO) for the correct sequence.
