Making a file

  1. Start a text editor such as emacs.

  2. Type the contents of your file. When you are done, save the file using the key sequence Ctrl-x-Ctrl-s or the menu command File->Save Buffer.

    If you did not supply a file name earlier, emacs will prompt you with the File to save in: message. Type a file name such as docbook-example02.sgml, then press Enter to save the file.
