How do I easily do this? Example: section 1.3 has a title and contains 3 paragraphs. * If you click in the *title* of section 1.3 and use the "?" icon/button of the DocBook toolbar, it will add a section 1.4. * If you click in the *last paragraph* of section 1.3 and use the "?" icon/button of the DocBook toolbar, it will add a section 1.3.1. In this case, the important point is to select (implicitly or explicitly) the *last element* of the section. If you want to understand why this works, we recommend *not* to use the DocBook toolbar and instead read our tutorial: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/user/userguide2.html#id.s2. This tutorial will teach to do everything using the basic, generic, commands: "Insert", "Insert After", "Insert Before", "Convert", etc. While being somewhat low-level, these basic, generic, commands are straightforward to learn and use. And with these commands, you'll be able to do anything you want in XMLmind XML Editor, quickly and precisely. > Second: when I convert the XXE file to (e.g.) HTML, the resulting doc is > always displayed in Times New Roman font, 12 pt.

Just use a text editor and modify the CSS style sheet used to style the generated HTML. This CSS style sheet is found in <XXE_install_directory>/config/docbook/xsl/css/html.css It starts with: --- body { background: #FFFFFF; } . . . --- For example, you could change this to: --- body { background: #FFFFFF; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; } . . . --- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
