In the fedora-docs module, there is a directory for each manuals. So,
for example, if you change to the documentation-guide directory, and
execute the command:

grep DocBook *.sgml

at the bottom of the list, you will see:

documentation-guide.xml:<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN"

This means that the documentation-guide.xml file is the parent
file. The parent file is where entities are declared as well as all
the other included files if the document is broken up into multiple
files.
