/ Ed Nixon [EMAIL PROTECTED] was heard to say:
| I'm new to the list so the usual FAQ-type apologies. I *have* searched
| the archive, however, without much success.
The TC just[1] agreed to produce an SVG customization layer.
| I'd like to know about using SVG in docbook documents:
|
| - where should I go to find information (other than the strictly SVG sites)?
Read about customizing DocBook[2]
| - what are the issues?
DTDs don't play with Namespaces very well.
| - are there any implementations or examples?
There will be real soon now.
| - what customizations are needed to allow it to happen?
You need to write a module like, for example, the MathML module[3], that
imports the SVG DTD and then adds svg:svg to the possible content of
imageobject.
| - any number of answers to questions I haven't thought of.
Perhaps :-)
| - based on the 4 hits I got from the search, what's coming down the
| pipe for future versions of the DTD?
I need to write a good summary page for this. Bug fixes, XLink support,
SVG support, and a few other things. You can look at the (now outdated)
RFE pages[4] or the DocBook RFE tracker at SourceForge.
Be seeing you,
norm
