Then, two-page "recipes" are presented, demonstrating exactly how to create Document Type Definitions (DTDs) for virtually every type of commonly used document, both simple and complex. The book presents recipes for editorial structures such as manual pages, tables, frontmatter, backmatter, forms and lists; for each major character set; and for presentations and rendering.
