RE: [docbook] Status of Website DTD
Title: Message

John,

 

Back in 
about 2008, Dave Pawson and I did some work on the website and created a 3.0 
version based on DocBook 5.0. The good news is that it works, and Dave did some 
nice documentation that you can find here along with the schema 
itself:

 

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/website/v5/

 

The bad news 
is that it hasn't been taken back into the official sourceforge repository. That 
is mostly because Dave and I ran out of cycles, and other commitments 
intervened.

 

What we 
completed does work; I created a web site using it (http://rlhamilton.net), and Dave may have 
also used it for a website.

 

Your 
bringing this up reminds me that we really need to take the steps required to 
get this into the standard distribution. That process may change some of what we 
did, but I hope not by much.

 

If you try 
it out, I'd be interested in hearing how it works for you.

 

Best 
Regards,

Dick 
Hamilton

  Status of Website DTD

  
Just wondering what the status of the Docbook 
  Website DTD is. It hasn't been updated for some time (I think since 2.6.0 in 
  2005). Are there any plans to do so?

  
 

  
Cheers
