Re: Trying to compile the DocBook book.

Yes, Norman, and the big example has to work, to be a good example! :-)

At least this is not my main concern, you know. I already printed some
parts from the HTML version, so I don't really need to make it be
printable in ps form. But I'd like to be sure that I can just copy the
way you do to manage DocBook DTD, used for such a documentation. So it
has to work before I apply it. And as I told you, as soon as I have the
money for it, I would buy your book. [And, good news, I probably found a
job.] And true, a O'Reilly book is far more handy and usable than a home
printed book.

No problem, you're our DocBook guru (at least mine), and we can wait at
least a few days.

Thanks again for contributing DocBook to the community.

Cheers,
