Re: [docbook-apps] DocBook Customization -- Subsets
We've looked at the simplified version of DocBook and it's TOO simple. We have a couple of examples of local style manuals (thank you!). If anyone else wants to share their tag subsets, that would be gratefully received. We appreciate the goal of reducing complexity and ambiguity--makes sense--but we're less clear where to begin for a set of books above the article level. We could authorize like, twenty tags, and then require people to argue for additions, but that could be a de-motivator. ;) (The first DocBook sample I worked with from the community was using EBNF!) -- -- | Karen G.

Here's our user manual: http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/docbook/ This document has two purposes: - It has localizing information, like where in our file system you can get model Makefiles, and how to use xep (which we love and have under an academic license). - Since I also do the stylesheet customization, the approach was to describe only the tags that are decently supported in our stylesheet layer.

RE: [docbook-apps] DocBook Customization -- Subsets
Hi Karen, Have you considered the DocBook Publishers schema customization? It's available on Sourceforge at: http://docbook.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/docbook/trunk/docbook/relaxng/publishers/ It would be fairly easy to include any of the technical inlines you might need as well.
