RE: [docbook] RE: quote inside code. WAS emphasis inside command isillegal?
Another feature in oXygen is the Model pane that displays the content model for an element based on the cursor being inside the element.  It is a little faster than  the opening triangular brace and doesn't insert content into the file.  Many other editors have similar features.

I don't know of such a query tool, but you can use an RNG schema-aware XML editor to 
see what child elements are available for a given parent.  I just open a DocBook 5.0 
document with Oxygen, configured to associate the DocBook namespace with the DocBook 
5.0 RNG schema.  When inside an element, when I type "<" it prompts me for a child 
element, listing only those that are valid in that context.  Other XML editors have a 
similar feature.

I'll add an item to the next DocBook Technical Committee agenda to discuss maintaining 
accessible reference documentation for each version.

Missed that before, I see that in the preface now, thanks.
I should have used the docs that came with the distribution. Now that I look there 
though I don't see the reference.

Where can I find the frozen doc that matches the distribution for 5.0?

Or failing that, is there a tool to query the schema for legal child elements given a 
parent?
something like this:
somefunc('varname','inlineequation')# returns False
somefunc('varname','inlinemediaobject')# returns True

thanks,
--Tim
