I'd create a separate schematron file. It should be fairly
straightforward, something like:
<pattern>
<rule context="*...@xml:id]">
<report id="ID_test"
test="contains(string-join(text(),''),'_')"
>xml:id value <value-of select="@xml:id"/> must NOT contain
underscores or capitals as they do not work properly with our build
tools and outputs. </report>
</rule>
</pattern>
I'm not sure about testing for caps, but you may want to visit
http://schematron.com for more details.
Best regards,

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the suggestion. Should I be creating a separate schematron
file or
can I edit the schematron that is included in docbook?
And can you recommend a good schematron primer?
Thanks again,
Kate

Re: [docbook] A way to restrict the content in xml:id
Hi Kate,
not via the DTD, but you could run a schematron validation as a
pre-submission check before the content is sent to the build tools?
