Er, duh. I forgot about that. And the ld2db reference is another
one that I installed after, just for the good old linuxdoc dtd. Due
to my reviewer responsibiities, it's something that I use quite a bit.

I guess because the local path to the dtd in my catalog didn't start
with capitals I kind of skimmed it! One thing is for sure, setting
up DocBook for me has been a great precursor to learning about
authoring tools in general. Even though I kind of surf through my
work now that the tools operate, it's nice every once in a while to
suddenly grasp a config thing and have it all click!
Have fun in XML!
