3.3.5. Chapter.xml

The Chapter.xml file is a template for creating chapter files. Chapter files contain the content that make up a book. The following is a chapter template (Chapter.xml) that is created after running the create_book command. Note the DOCTYPE is set to chapter:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd" [
]>

<chapter id="MYBOOK-Test">
	<title>Test</title>
	<para>
		This is a test paragraph
	</para>
	<section id="MYBOOK-Test-Section_1_Test">
		<title>Section 1 Test</title>
		<para>
			Test of a section
		</para>
	</section>
	
	<section id="MYBOOK-Test-Section_2_Test">
		<title>Section 2 Test</title>
		<para>
			Test of a section
		</para>
	</section>

</chapter>

This chapter has two sections, Section 1 Test and Section 2 Test. Please refer to http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/chapter.html for further information about chapters.

Note

The chapter file should be renamed to reflect the chapter subject. For example, a chapter on product installation could be named Installation.xml, whereas a chapter on setting up a piece of software would be better called Setup.xml or Configuration.xml.
