RE: [docbook-apps] DB 5 -- Element "example" not allowed inside element "article" ?
Anagha,

The most likely possibility is that you've got <example>
either before the <title> or <info> elements, or after
one of the "section" elements (<section>, <sect1>, etc.)

For example,

<article ...>
  <title>the title</title>
  <example>....</example>
  <section>......</section>
</article>

would be ok, but:

<article ...>
  <title>the title</title>
  <section>......</section>
  <example>....</example>
</article>

is invalid.

If that's not the problem, then if you could post the
shortest example you have that fails, that would help
diagnose the problem.
