"...post an example of your complete document..."

good idea Mike,

Here is a cut-up version of my XML which gives me the same problem:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd";>

<article>
<articleinfo>
<copyright>
<year>Blah</year>
<holder>Blah</holder>
</copyright>

<title>Blah</title>
<subtitle>Blah</subtitle>

</articleinfo>

<section><title>Equipment</title>
<para>blah
</para>
</section>

<section><title>Special Tools, Test Equipment</title>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Blah
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>

<procedure>
<title>Blah</title>

Vincent,

I think you need to post an example of your complete document to the
list, or some simplified version of it at least. Procedure is valid as
a child of Article, so you shouldn't be seeing that error unless
there's something else wrong with your document. But from what you've
posted, there's no way to tell what that something else might be. You
need to post a complete example.

Regards,
