Hi,
according to the TDG's topic[1] description, "appendix, book, chapter, part"
are the parent elements of topic.
However, for the current 5.1 beta2 DocBook schema[2] this seems correct for
book and part only, but not for appendix or chapter. Further investigation
lead to the following definitions in the schema:
db.chapter =
## A chapter, as of a book
element chapter {
db.chapter.attlist, db.chapter.info, db.component.contentmodel
}
db.component.contentmodel =
db.navigation.components*,
db.toplevel.blocks.or.sections,
db.navigation.components*
db.navigation.components =
notAllowed | db.glossary | db.bibliography | db.index | db.toc
db.toplevel.blocks.or.sections =
(db.all.blocks+, db.toplevel.sections?) | db.toplevel.sections
Same for appendix. Futhermore, the RFC "add a topic element"[3] states:
7. Allow topic as a child of chapter or appendix, but not
as a sibling of section. [...]
Is this an oversight? Which one is correct, the documentation or the DocBook
schema?
Thanks,
Tom
