| I'm attempting to create an XML doc to the DocBK spec.

| <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD DocBk XML V1.4//EN"

| Can anyone tell me if the anchor and link elements are correct and if they 
| are nested correctly?

Um, you're not using these elements in quite the right way. Anchors
are point anchors (like <A NAME="..."></A>) and links are ID/IDREF
forms of linking.

Anchors are rarely needed. Usually, you can just put the ID on
the appropriate element.

I suggest you check out DocBook: The Definitive Guide at
http://docbook.org/tdg/, in particular the reference pages for Link,
ULink, and Anchor.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
