I'm working on a DocBook template for a documentation project plan, and it occurred to me that once I have a template defined, I could create a set of Schematron assertions to check that an instance conforms to the template.
How do you define 'conforms to the template Dick'?
I would want the instance to be valid DocBook at all times,
DTD/rng validation. but
would use Schematron to check for things like the presence of required sections, the sequence of sections, the presence of required metadata, and so forth.
so these are 'non grammar' based checks? Call it business rules or something like that. Structure rules perhaps?
Has anyone on the list used Schematron for something like this, and if so how did it go?
As you write the template, consider the related 'rules' you want to enforce and add another 'rule' to your Schematron file?
I'd also be interested in any thoughts anyone has about the appropriateness of using Schematron versus other methods (e.g., modifying the RelaxNG) for this purpose.
Sounds just right. In fact just the sort of usage that Schematron was defined for? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
