Fwd: Re: [docbook-apps] Storing data within Docbook?

[Vadim Peretokin <Vadim.Peretokin@nehta.gov.au>]

Dodgy mailing list software on some servers broke my habit of 'reply all'. Sorry - forwarding to the ML.

I wouldn't want to be creating niche tools just to deal with this relatively small project.

Also you could consider using Processing Instructions (PI), which have
the following syntax:

<?MyProcessorName Anything you like in here ?>

This is a general-purpose mechanism for embedding metadata in an XML
file. Sounds like it might be useful in this case (but you'll have to
write your own tool or script to process the PI nodes).

I'm transforming some data from an XML format into a Docbook
table - but not all of the data in the XML is to be displayed in
Docbook. I would, however, like to store it in my Docbook XML -
because future transformations would like to read my Docbook XML
and they'd need all of the data that went into it. I'd rather not
introduce a secondary file for storing the extra data - this
would bring complications and fragility.

The easiest way to do this is to add <info> element to the table
and put you raw XML data there -- they just must be in different
namespace then DocBook in order to validate.
