/ Matthias Krehl <matthias.krehl@key-work.de> was heard to say:
| Has anyone used IBM's WebSphere Application Developer (WSAD) for editing
| DocBook documents?
|
| I didn't manage to create a DocBook XML so far. After specifying the DocBook
| DTD in the XML file creation wizard WSAD (thinks for several seconds and
| then) requests for selecting a root element from a drop down list - which is
| empty. Manually inserting something like 'book', or '<book>' will be
| ignored.
|
| That's the explanation from the WSAD online help:
|
| The root element of an XML file is
| the element that contains all other
| elements in that file. All elements
| defined in the DTD or all global
| elements defined in the XML schema
| are included in this list.
| Note: If you do not have any elements
| in your DTD or any global elements in
| your XML schema, you cannot create an
| XML file from it.
|
| Any ideas?
Maybe WSAD isn't robust enough to parse DocBook? Have you tried with a smaller,
simpler DTD? Perhaps Simplified DocBook?
Be seeing you,
