Hi, I'm currently in the process of moving our documentation source to Docbook XML, and I find that we've got some domain-specific data that we can't easily represent using the Docbook schema - in particular, we need the ability to capture nested directory structures in our documentation.
So, what I've done is written an XML Schema for a new namespace (call it "tt"), containing the additional elements, and I embed these in a Docbook XML document like so: <para> <tt:filesystem xmlns:tt="http://www.transitive.com/transitive";> <tt:directory name="/"> <tt:directory name="var"> <tt:directory name="accounts"> <tt:desc>The Solaris application "ReconcileAccounts" needs to alter files in <filename>/var/accounts/</filename></tt:desc> </tt:directory> </tt:directory> <tt:directory name="usr" /> </tt:directory> </tt:filesystem> </para> I've had have no problem in using the XSLT transforms to generate sensible PDF and HTML output from these new tags, but I'm having trouble coming up with a way for XMLMind to play nicely with this arrangement - ideally, I want anyone editing a DocBook XML document in XMLMind to be able to see elements like "tt:filesystem" in the list when they choose to insert new elements into the document. How could I go about doing this? The number of options seems pretty vast: - Use the DocBoox DTD, or XML Schema, or the RELAX NG Schema - Modify those namespaces, or write my own (with the definition in whatever format) - Define a new namespace that references the DocBook one and extends it, or reference my new namespace from within DocBook. I can't imagine that I'm the first person to try and achieve this - before I head off and find the wrong way of doing this, does anyone have any experiences they could share? Thanks, Geraint North
