Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] Posting examples on the wiki


DocBookCustomizations is too generic and appears to refer to the XSL.

Go with DocBookCookbook. Unless, of course, you prefer 

	DocBookCookingTheBooks

;-)

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Posting examples on the wiki

Peter,

I've had the same experience myself (combing through the list archives),
  and I've considered starting such a page on the wiki (see the
docbook-apps thread "customization layer for DocBook 5.0: The Transition
Guide") using a cookbook-style approach. Concrete examples are a great
way to learn.

I sort of dropped the ball--lots of things going on here at work--but
let's do it! I think others are interested too (Dick Hamilton, etc). If
you have access, Peter, go ahead and create a new topic page on the
wiki. What should it be called? DocBookCustomizations might work, but
it's sort of system-centered. Maybe DocBookCookbook ?

Cheers,

Brett
