Re: [docbook-apps] RE: Information about creating XML DTDs/Schemas


Just a word of caution about using an SGML book to write XML DTDs, as there
are some differences.  It would be fine for DTD design, but not for a syntax
reference.

I would also suggest "XML in a Nutshell" by Elliotte Rusty Harold and W.
Scott Means.  It has a nice concise intro to XML DTDs, as well as other
useful XML info.
