Re: DocBook documents in CVS

/ Kai Schröder <cyberian@arcor.de> was heard to say:
| Hi all,
|
| what is the best solution to use CVS keyword expansion together with DocBook?
|
| To put $Date$ in //bookinfo/date is clear, but what tags are for $Revision$ 

I tend to (ab)use releaseinfo with a role.

| and $Log$? There is the revhistory tag, but how to fill using keyword 
| expansion?

There's no good way to do that. What you really want is to parse the $Log$
and fill out a revhistory, but that's not something CVS can do by itself.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
