You're not writing in 3.1, you're writing in 3.0. Big
difference, at least when it comes to output.
Your first line should look like this:
&lt;!DOCTYPE ArticlePUBLIC &quot;-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN&quot;&gt;
(I did this from memory, so it might be slightly off. Check one of the
existing HOWTOs (like the HOWTO-HOWTO) for the correct sequence.

&gt;
&gt; I am writing a HOWTO in DocBook 3.1 SGML using the Red Hat 6.2 updated packages of Cygnus DocBook Tools.
&gt;
&gt; When I try to do 'db2html Enterprise-Linux-Server.sgml' I get thousands of errors! (I increased the # of errors to be output using the -E option). Most of the errors are about undefined tags.
&gt;
&gt; It output the HTML correctly, but the look-and-feel, however, is not like an LDP HOWTO!
&gt;
&gt; Here are the first few lines of the SGML source:
&gt;
&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE Article PUBLIC &quot;-//Davenport//DTD DocBook V3.0//EN&quot;&gt;
&gt;
&gt; &lt;Article&gt;
&gt;
&gt; &lt;ArticleInfo&gt;
&gt; &lt;Title&gt;Enterprise Linux Server HOWTO&lt;/Title&gt;
&gt; &lt;Author&gt;&lt;FirstName&gt;by Amir Malik, &amp;lt;amir@infoteen.com&amp;gt;
&gt; &lt;/FirstName&gt;&lt;/Author&gt;
&gt; &lt;PubDate&gt;22 June 2000&lt;/PubDate&gt;
&gt; &lt;ReleaseInfo&gt;v0.1-beta, 22 June 2000&lt;/ReleaseInfo&gt;
&gt; &lt;Abstract&gt;&lt;Para&gt;Little Intro...&lt;/Para&gt;&lt;/Abstract&gt;
&gt; &lt;/ArticleInfo&gt;
&gt;
&gt; &lt;TOC&gt;&lt;/TOC&gt;
&gt;
&gt; &lt;Chapter id=&quot;preface&quot;&gt;&lt;Title&gt;Preface&lt;/Title&gt;
&gt; ...
&gt;
&gt; &lt;/Chapter&gt;
&gt;
&gt; &lt;/Article&gt;
&gt;
&gt; Is this correct? My feeling is that I don't have the correct LDP stylesheets/DTDs/DSSLs...
&gt;
&gt; I must have overlooked something really simple, can anyone help me?
&gt;
&gt; Thank you,
&gt; Amir Malik
