Hi Dick,

 

Thanks. I'll try it out with my website over the 
next few weeks. It would be good if it were an official release.

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

    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
