I'm interested in achieving the effects that I see on the title page of
DocBook V5.0: The Transition Guide [1]--namely, the "this version", "latest
version", "previous versions", and "authors" lists I see on this HTML
article and at the top of all W3C specifications.
Is this achieved through a customization layer, server-side processing, or
something else entirely?
A customization layer; the sources are here:
https://docbook.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/docbook/trunk/docbook/relaxng/docbook/howto/
Thanks, Michael. I tried building this document on my local machine, and
it appears that the customization doesn't work when using the DocBook 5
stylesheets (docbook-xsl-ns-1.73.1). Should I use the
namespace-stripping stylesheets again, or is there an easy fix to make
the customization work with the namespace-aware stylesheets?
As I'm really an XSL novice, I might have more questions about using the
customization. I've started by copying lines 16-143 into my
customization layer.
On a related note, have I mentioned that a DocBook "cookbook"--publishing
effects and how to achieve them--would be a really great resource?
Might be an interesting project to try to work on with a
collaboratively with a group of other people, and publish it under
an open-source license. Or, I can think of some tech-book publishers
who would be happy to publish such a book if they could find a
good author willing to put time into working on it, and who could
commit to a delivery schedule.
I'd like to involved in such a project, although my utility as an author
may be limited. Still, what first steps would you recommend (assuming
it's easiest to start with a collaboration of DocBook users)? Do you
think the DocBook wiki is a reasonable place to start notes on such a
collaboration?
Thanks,
Brett
