You need to tell XXE to recognize the preface element as part of a document doc. You do this by adding a line like this to the docbook configuration file, <installdir>/config/docbook/docbook.xxe : <rootElementLocalName>preface</rootElementLocalName> Check out the reference for detecting different document types: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/configure/ch06s06.html Or, even cleaner, add this to a custom configuration file for docbook documents that extend the existing one: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/configure/ch04.html Don't forget to reload the configuration file before opening your document again (in the "options" menu) /claus -- http://techwriter.dk/
