(element errorname ($mono-seq$
(make sequence
(make entity-ref name: "ldquo")
(process-children)
(make entity-ref name: "rdquo"))))
in freebsd.dsl should solve that. Using things like <errorname> means
that we can expand some of the automatically generated tables. As well as
a table of contents and a table of examples we could have a table of error
messages. . .
If that works for you then feel free to commit it to freebsd.dsl (right
around the place we do the same thing to the <sgmltag> element).
