I had read this before, but it doesn't actually show the basic
mechanics so that I can just use it. For instance,
* What programs are used to convert between the compact syntax and
XML syntax? Thanks to the links from Dick Hamilton I understand that
James Clark's 'trang' is most often used, but I'd never know that from
the Transition Guide.
Then you need to read up on Relax NG.
* How do you use the resulting RelaxNG XML file in a real-world XML
document? I gather from Bob Stayton's reply that I should convert the
RNG files (my customizations + the Docbook5 RNG) to a DTD. I guess
that means that I should just put a <!DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "mynew.DTD">
in the front of the document. Does that mean that I then throw out
the namespaces?
No. You can validate with a Schema.
Schema = dtd|W3C xsd | relax NG
'Jing' from James Clark allows you to validate an XML instance
against a schema (relax ng in this case)
I think that the previous example of asmbook (extending Docbook5
with register and instruction elements) is really close, so with
perhaps just a little bit of corrections and gap filling I'll have a
good foundation to build up and test my understanding. Would it be
possible for someone to post the (hopefully small) corrections to that
example?
Not without hand holding.
You go do the reading and come back with the questions.
I'm sure you'll get help.
