Anagha, If you're using DocBook 5.0, there are two resources you should look at first: - The draft DocBook 5.0 Definitive Guide: http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/docbook.html - The DocBook 5.0 How-to: http://docbook.org/docs/howto/ The definitive guide will give you the details of DocBook's syntax. Norm Walsh, who authors the guide has just updated it to make it easier to read. The section called "Understanding Content Models" describes how to read the detailed syntax. You can find that description here: http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/ref-elements.html#s2-cmintro The How-to will give you information about how DocBook 5.0 has changed, and also give you suggestions on how best to use DocBook. These two should give you a good start. Dick

Thank you! Dick. You are right, I was trying to insert "example" tag before "info" & after "section" Per your suggestions, I included it before section & it worked! Any idea, where can I find documentation about -- what elements are allowed under a given parent and what should be the sequence of the children elements? Appreciate your replies. - A Dick Hamilton wrote: Anagha, The most likely possibility is that you've got <example> either before the <title> or <info> elements, or after one of the "section" elements (<section>, <sect1>, etc.) For example, <article ...> <title>the title</title> <example>....</example> <section>......</section> </article> would be ok, but: <article ...> <title>the title</title> <section>......</section> <example>....</example> </article> is invalid. If that's not the problem, then if you could post the shortest example you have that fails, that would help diagnose the problem.

Hi All, I am trying to insert an element "example" inside "article"; however, I get the following error message in the XML editor (I am using oXygen XML editor): element "example" from namespace "http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; <http://docbook.org/ns/docbook> not allowed in this context However, per information on: http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html /example.html I see "example" has a parent "article" Please advise. Thank you, Anagha PS: I am using DocBook 5, the article element appears as: <article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; <http://docbook.org/ns/docbook> version="5.0"> in my xml file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
