No you are not missing anything and your question is indeed a very good one. Let's say that the DocBook v5 schema is not always XMLmind XML editor friendly which, in some cases, makes our product pretty hard to use. With DocBook v5 (not with DocBook v4), an entry element, that is, a table cell, can contain either: * plain text and inline elements such as emphasis, link, etc. OR * block elements such as para, itemizedlist, figure, etc. (DocBook v4 allowed to mix both kinds of contents.) Therefore, * If the entry element is empty, explicitly select its empty text node by clicking on #text in the node path bar (or pressing Ctrl-Up Arrow) and use the Edit tool to *replace* it by a para, itemizedlist, figure, etc. * If the entry element is not empty, select all contents by dragging your mouse over it and use the Edit tool to *convert* it to a para. After doing that, this entry, which now has switched to block contents, will behave as you expect. > > I am completely new to Docbook and XMLEditor (which is a very good > product).
