Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] HTML-Transitional Forms Module Support for DocBook?


Brian,

The DocBook TC has already published a customization layer for DocBook
that adds support for HTML forms. You can get it at:

  http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/htmlforms/1.1/

The way it's intended to be used is that instead of putting the public
and system IDs for the standard DocBook DTD in your doctype declaration,
you put the IDs for the HTML forms customization layer, like this:

  <!DOCTYPE book
    PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook HTML Forms Module V1.1//EN"
    "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/htmlforms/1.1/dbforms.dtd";>
