Re: trouble with split document and markup element selection

Hi,

I was able to reproduce your problem. It might be too difficult for 
psgml to handle a child document inside of "part" tags, because part 
expects to start with "title" or "partinfo" before it gets to "chapter".

Depending on what content you want your child doc to hold, I managed to 
get some settings to work.

The following setup will allow you to have a child doc with one and only 
one chapter:

parent:
...
<part><title>Part Title</title>
   &my_chapter;
</part>
...

child:
<chapter> .... </chapter>
<!-- Local Variables: -->
<!-- sgml-parent-document: ("./parent.xml" "book" "part" "chapter") -->
<!-- End: -->

On the other hand, if you want your child doc to contain an entire 
"part", it's much easier on psgml if you include the "part" tags in the 
child doc. It doesn't sound like that's what you want, but in case you 
do, the setting for that is: sgml-parent-document is ("./parent.xml" 
"book" ("part") "book"); and the child doc contains one or more entire 
"part" element(s).
