Hi, My company is using docbook for end user documentation and to some degree also for design documentation. Since docbook is nothing anyone seems to be fond of writing, I now started looking into quickbook. The features that attract me the most are the neat syntax and programmability. The docbook environment that I am supposed to use is based on a different docbook version, than the one referenced in boostbook. So at the moment I have an xml file containing the book and booinfo header containing our corporate design foobar and disclaimer stuff. Then each chapter is referenced. The chapters are written in quickbook as chapter documents. When running the toolchain, it complains that it could not find the boostbook dtd - probably because downloading of dtd is disable, or fails because of our proxy. Is there a way to surpress the DOCTYPE tag within the chapter xml output files? regards Andreas Pokorny
