RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: simplified DocBk and XSL

I'm a 
little unclear as to what exactly you are asking.  Simplified DocBook and 
DocBk XML V3.1.5.1 are two different things.  DocBk v. 3.1.5.1 is 
simply an older version of DocBook, not necessarily simpler or more 
complex.  Simplified DocBook is an actual subset DTD, and may be what you 
are looking for.  I've never worked with Simplified DocBook, but I believe 
that the full DocBook stylesheets will run on a Simplified DocBook 
document.  As for the older versions of DocBook, we're still using a 3.1 
version with the latest stylesheets without a problem.

DOCBOOK-APPS: simplified DocBk and XSL

If I use a simplifed version of DocBook ( such as DocBk XML V3.1.5.1.), 
will I still be able to use the stylesheets at docbook.sourceforge.net?

 

We're moving the userGuide for an open source 
project from .doc to DocBook xml, and it seems like a simplied version might 
suffice for our purposes.

 

If I knew it were a subset, I would assume they 
would work but since it's a 'simplified' version, I would really like to know 
before doing the conversion.

 

Considerately,
