Yes. Do NOT create them as separate <article> documents. When you
are breaking out your chapters like this into separate files, each
file should have valid DocBook code, but NOT an overall element like
<article>. (and no DOCTYPE headers and such). So they should be:
<chapter>
....
</chapter>
or <sect1> or <section> or whatever.
Think of what you are doing as an "include" where you are just sucking
in the code into a single main file. Visualize the single file and
think of how it should be constructed... then put those chunks into
your separate files.
