This is a word of caution for the naive user. For a naive user, it is clearly not a good idea to start authoring DocBook 5 documents using XXE. The naive user should better stick to DocBook 4.4. > In a near future I will have to create customized version of DocBook and > I was thinking about doing this customization on the top of DocBook > V5.0, because it is much easier to create customizations in RELAX NG.

For example: * you cannot split <para>s by simply pressing Enter; * the DocBook menu lacks a "Convert Document" submenu. And there are probably a few more rough edges I didn't notice... --- PS: XMLmind is committed to fully support DocBook/RELAX NG in its free XMLmind XML Editor Standard Edition.
