Yep sure can.

I see no real problem installing under the XML tree as apposed to the SGML tree. Though for curiosities sake alone would like to know why. It's a good choice if for no other reason than Docbook XML is there already and so is consistent. I guess that for new TEI implementations / instances XML will be the default usage in any case from about now on. :) >-- >------------------------------------- >Mark Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Debian XML/SGML <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Home Page: <http://dulug.duke.edu/~mark/> >GPG fp: DBEA FA3C C46A 70B5 F120 568B 89D5 4F61 C07D E242 --Pete -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
