Hi,

I'm told that it is good to have a separate text file for each chapter (I agree). But the examples only show a single file.

What I need to know is whether all the metadata <!DOCTYPE... etc should be repeated at the top of each text file, or whether I can create a single file for all that stuff and separate files just with the body section? If the latter, exactly which tags are required in the chapter files (eg do they all need a <body> ... </body> or does the first chapter need to start the <body> with the </body> tag at the end of the last chapter?)

Thanks for your help.
