I understand that 'book' is a top level type, so you declare it:

<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN">

But are there others with different sizees, fonts and layouts ?

Is 'article' a top level type ? or does 'article' have to be nested 
within a book declaration.

Also, for a HOWTO, what is preferred ? I assume for longer and lengthier 
ones its definately 'book', for HOWTO's do you prefer 'article' or 
'book' or just don't really care either way ?

Thanks.
