I tried this: 1. created a stand-alone chapter 2. Copied as reference: shows on status bar as db:chapter 3. went to existing docbook, selected existing chapter 4. tried to paste-after -- menu disabled.
The problem seems to be a bunch of attributes included with the <chapter ..> element, including namespace = db If I remove these by manually editing text, then the paste works. - Is my diagnosis correct? - Can it be fixed? Lastly, is there a way to extract chapter elements from a book and save them to separate files? It seems not realistic for book writing to proceed linearly and such re-factorings would be common. Thanks.
