This topic was touched upon recently on docbook-apps (the list dedicated to tools-related issues--follow up there please):
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200308/msg00083.html
Out of curiosity as to whether jEdit passes Jeff's 'good XML editor' test, I poked around at the jEdit cvs repository and notice a comment like this in the docbook source files for the jEdit documentation:
<!-- jEdit buffer-local properties: -->
<!-- :indentSize=1:noTabs=true: -->
<!-- :xml.root=users-guide.xml: -->
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jedit/jEdit/doc/users-guide/basics.xml?rev=1.21&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
Looks like it works similar to the way emacs+psgml does and uses a comment to tell the editor where to find the root doc/doctype.

Hello,
I am willing to use DocBook to write my thesis. For the
moment, I have separated test chapters into different files, using
system entities.
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd"[
<!ENTITY intro SYSTEM "intro.fr.xml">
<!ENTITY results SYSTEM "results.en.xml">
<!ENTITY matmed SYSTEM "matmed.fr.xml">
<!ENTITY glossaire SYSTEM "glossaire.fr.xml">
<!ENTITY perspectives SYSTEM "perspectives.fr.xml">
]>
There is a problem with this approach : since the chapters
can't have a DTD, they are difficult (well..., less easy ;) to edit
with software like jEdit.
Do you think I'd better merge them back, or is there a DocBook
workaround to fix this?
Have a nice weekend,
--
Charles
