I want to know if DocBook support a map file like DITA map file that support xref to some section (topic) files, and then I can output PDF directly from the map file.
Not yet. This feature, called assembly, is part of DocBook 5.1. DocBook 5.1 is still beta (see http://docbook.org/). We are committed to fully support DocBook 5.1 as soon as it is officially released.
I have tried to create a DocBook Book file, but it does not support linking to a section file.
You probably want to create a *modular* book, that is a book including chapters or appendices by *reference*, which themselves include sections by reference. (In fact, you may organize a modular book in any way you want.)
How to do this is explained in this tutorial: Creating a modular document http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_tutorial/modular_doc/index.html Screencast of the tutorial: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_tutorial/modular_doc/video/modular_doc.html -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
