I can answer that question, but the answer does not assume you are a slob. :-) Step #1. Think about what you want to say. Step #2. Write down what you want to say using a text editor. Step #3. Mark-up your text using the DocBook vocabulary. Step #4. Use a program called xmllint to check your mark-up for well-formedness and validity. Xmllint is an XML parser. It is written against a set of C libraries, but you can get the whole thing as pre-compiled binaries. See (the following slow link): http://www.zlatkovic.com/libxml.en.html You might also consider using an XML editor, and of the ones I've seen, I would recommend jEdit, but I would really suggest the outline above: http://jedit.org/ -- Eric Lease Morgan University Libraries of Notre Dame (574) 631-8604
