[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] DocBook 5.0 super-quick HOWTO

[Betty Ing]

I installed XMLmind Personal Edition recently and am able to edit XML
content with it. I am trying to add tags as well, but without success.
How do we access this functionality? In the interim, I am using
Notepad++ to create tags.
