Here is an example of defining and using text entities:

Is that the kind of example you were looking for?

I have a personal project using docbook as a central point for producing
pdf and ebooks (epub and mobi (drm-less)). This is a free ruleset for
wargaming with little figurines. See my website dedicated to this work

Epub is relatively easy and works rather well, in a direct manner. Mobi,
I got from epub with calibre, but the graphics are problematic (on my
old Kindle 4 touchless). The pdf, I cannot produce directly, so one
against I got it from epub, which is not the best way to get it in a
perfect world.
The docbook handling is a free project of itself. It is there :

The recipe for making file are all in the Makefile.
I would appreciate any help to improve my output methods. I also haven't
been able to support entities in my docbook. I find the official
documentation lacking example in this repect, more complete example. A
simpl "hello world" docbook with one or two entities would greatly help me.

Hi Stefan,
I have a question about how your HTML docs work:
For example, at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/tutorial.html
there is a list of multiple books and a search bar on the left. Is
this part external to docbook, or do you use some webhelp tweak to
do it? (I've been trying to use webhelp with <set> to achieve
similar results, but couldn't sort out all the bugs so far.)
Thanks!
Robert

Hi,
Have any of you PDF + HTML output with Docbook? If anyone
has such a project and will be willing to show it off, send
some URLs!
The MySQL documentation is created and maintained in DocBook
XML. The entry point to the docs is here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/
As you can see, we build a lot of formats from DocBook,
including Unix man pages which are created from the same source
as the rest of the formats (most documentation teams maintain
man pages separately).
Last time we cared to do a detailed analysis of our stuff was in
2009; here's a summary:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/index-about.html
It's only become more in every respect, more products to cover,
more books, more pages, more complexity. We get the "why don't
you use X instead, it's so much better" question every once in a
while, but DocBook has been working remarkably well for us for
more than a decade, and it scales, so we have no plans to move
away from it anytime soon.
Reasons to consider DocBook in the first place included Norm's
(http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/docbook.html) and Bob's
(http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/) great books, by the way. :-)
Cheers,
Stefan
