Yes, either as Karsten says, or the emacs way; Add <!-- Local Variables: mode: xml sgml-parent-document: ("../dir/root.xml" "chapter") End: --> That tells psgml that the file root.xml holds the 'chapter' element that this file is a part of? See the psgml doco for details, but basically this just links this file with the parent that has the doctype declaration. -- Regards DaveP. XSLT&Docbook FAQ http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl
