-Note that the name of the directory the .devhelp file is in, and the name of the
-.devhelp file (minus the extension) must match.  There is a DTD available in
-dtd/devhelp-1.dtd which can be used to validate books.  Note that there have
-been several minor changes to the format which break the older books: the base
-attribute is actually respected, the only valid child of <chapters> is <sub>,
-and the author attribute has been removed.
