Hi Scott, Kate,
To test for capitals:
- option 1:
If you use XSLT 2.0 / XPath 2.0 with Schematron then you can use for
example the lower-case() function on the value and compare that with the
original value - if they are not equal then you have capitals.
For example if you use ISO Schematron then you can use xslt2 as
queryBinding to specify that you want XSLT 2.0.
- option 2:
This works also with XSLT 1.0 / XPath 1.0.
You can use the translate function to get the same result as the
lower-case() function, something like below:
translate(value, 'ABC', 'abc')
but instead of ABC and abc you need to put all the possible upper case
and respectively lower case letters that you may have in your document.
Best Regards,
George

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.

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?
