RE: errors ... but where


Ok, just a bit confused on the way I'm reading the DocBook Element
References now. The ref page for <sect1> says it takes <bridgehead> as a
child. Doesn't that mean that I can nest <bridgehead> inside a <sect1> tag
... as follows?

<sect1>
<bridgehead>Test</bridgehead>
<para>test</para>
</sect1>

Well, in the DocBook DTD, sect1 does not take a bridgehead
at that point, it takes a <title> element.
If you use this it should work:

<sect1>
<title>Test</title>
<para>test</para>
</sect1>
