There are some XSLT stylesheets for converting the RNG XML syntax to the compact syntax - http://www.pantor.com/download.html The RngToRnc-1_4.tgz tarball contains stylesheets for converting to actual compact syntax (plain text) and also for converting to syntax-highlighted HTML representations of that. I've uploaded the generated *.rnc files and HTML versions to: http://www.logopoeia.com/docbook/schema/relaxng/ The docbook.rnc.html file is the whole flattened schema in one big file. The db-calshtml.rnc.html is the same thing, with the addition of the hybrid HTML table model. The syntax highlighting is pretty slick. If you care to try the conversion yourself, I made a Makefile - http://www.logopoeia.com/docbook/schema/relaxng/Makefile If you have the 'schema' module checked out from Sourcefore DocBook CVS, you should just be able to change the variables at the top if needed and then just drop in into your schema/relaxng directory (along with the untarred RngToRnc-1_4 directory for the stylesheets) and then run it. Be forewarned though: generating the compact syntax versions with those stylesheets is really, really slow. --Mike Bob Stayton <[email protected]> writes: > Thanks, this is very helpful.
