        <title>A few words about XML</title>
        <para>A XML file is similar to a HTML file but with a more rigid syntax.
            The documentation of Scilab must be written using the strict subset of
            DocBook 5.1 defined in SCI/modules/helptools/schema/scilab.rng. DocBook 5.1
            elements are fully documented in <ulink url="http://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.1/docbook.html">"DocBook 5.1: The Definitive Guide"</ulink>
        </para>
        <para>
            Scilab is able to understand a large subset of Docbook tags. However, if any are missing, a bug report can be reported on the <ulink url="http://bugzilla.scilab.org/">Scilab bug tracker</ulink>.

            function he or she may use the Scilab function <link linkend="help_skeleton">help_skeleton</link> to produce the skeleton of

            syntax.
