Re: making a book of articles with Fop


I think the key point Jorge was getting at is that the individual articles 
(chapters) should *not* have their own doctypes declared; both article and 
chapter are valid top level elements (and AFAIK) valid components of a book.

Is this not what SUBDOCs were invented for, though?

( haven't made any experiments with this, and I have a sneaking suspicion 
XML doesn't allow them, which is not important to me, but might be to the 
person who asked the question).
