>A brief digression into other DTDs may help make clear what parts of
the previous section were specific to DocBook and what parts are general to
all structural-markup languages.</P

>TEI</A
> (Text Encoding
Initiative) is a large, elaborate DTD used primarily in academia for
computer transcription of literary texts. TEI's Unix-based toolchains
use many of the same tools that are involved with DocBook, but with
different stylesheets and (of course) a different DTD.</P
><P
>XHTML, the latest version of HTML, is also an XML application
described by a DTD, which explains the family resemblance between
XHTML and DocBook tags. The XHTML toolchain consists of web browsers
and a number of ad-hoc HTML-to-print utilities.</P
><P
>Many other XML DTDs are maintained to help people exchange
structured information in fields as diverse as bioinformatics and
banking. You can look at a <A

> list of
repositories</A
> to get some idea of the variety out
there.</P
