[dbdoclet] How to suppress doctype?

Hello,

I have looked in the docs and searched the mailing list archives, but I =
just can't find an option to suppress the generation of the DOCTYPE =
element.

See, I am trying to assemble a book from several physical chunks, and =
have instructed dbdoclet to generate a part instead of a book (using =
"docbook.has-book-tag=3Dfalse" in my properties file). For this purpose =
I have defined an entity in my main file like this:

<!ENTITY javadocref SYSTEM "docs/Reference.xml">=20

And I want to pull in the part created by dbdoclet at a suitable place =
in my main file using "&javadocref;".

But dbdoclet always inserts an XML prolog and a DOCTYPE element in the =
beginning of the generated part! At least "DocBook: The Definitive =
Guide" says of included files that "these files do not and must not have =
document type declarations" (Chapter 2, "Physical Divisions"). What to =
do?

--Jere

P.S. The "docbook.has-book-tag" seems to be undocumented, but works. Is =
that still the official way to create a part instead of a book?
