It's always best to have your own "custom" file, rather than overtyping
the "masters"...

It can either be in the current directory - if your document is
file.sgml then openjade should look for a file called "file.dsl" by
default. You can also specify this exactly with the "-d" option. In the
longer term it is also possible to set up catalog entries so that things
can be found with out having to specify full pathnames.

But for now, just stick your own definitions in, if you like,
"custom.dsl" and do "openjade -d custom.dsl ...."

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. dbhtml.dsl makes extensive use of
jade's very own transformation facilities - "make element" is used to
create an SGML/XML element with all the necessary angle brackets... so
you shouldn't need to introduce any literal angle brackets.... But, as I
said, I'm not sure what you really mean here - so I could be missing the
point completely ;-).
