Hi,
I am just writing my first DocBook document now, a simple technical
guide which uses the root element "book" (since it has a few "part"s and
"chapter"s and "section"s).
I used the Fink utility to download DocBook, and am wondering out of the
many files that arrived in the package, which one of these I should use
as my SYSTEM identifier in my document type declaration.
I have a file called /sw/share/xml/dtd/docbookx/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd, that
tells me the following:
<!-- This is the driver file for V4.1.2 of the DocBook DTD.
Please use the following formal public identifier to identify it:
"-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
For example, if your document's top-level element is Book, and
you are using DocBook directly, use the FPI in the DOCTYPE
declaration:
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
"http://www.oasis-
open.org/docbook/xml/4.0/docbookx.dtd"
[...]>
But according to "DocBook: The Definitive Guide", XML DocBook documents
usually use the SYSTEM identifier and I don't see any mention of this.
Maybe I'm just confused -- can anyone give me some advice?
TIA,
Erik
