Re: writing HOWTO in DocBook 3.1 SGML

You're not writing in 3.1, you're writing in 3.0.  Big
difference, at least when it comes to output.

Your first line should look like this:

<!DOCTYPE ArticlePUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN">

(I did this from memory, so it might be slightly off. Check one of the
existing HOWTOs (like the HOWTO-HOWTO) for the correct sequence.
