Subject: Strategies for Migrating DocBook Customization in a Mixed DB4/5 Environment?
Hi DocBook users, currently, I'm trying to migrate our old DocBook 4 sources to version 5. This is pretty straightforward and can be done with some XSLT magic. The markup side is also well covered in the "DocBook 5.0 Transition Guide"[1]. However, during this transition, some documents will be kept in DocBook 4. So we end up with a mixed setup for both versions. (Of course, I could feed my new DocBook 5 sources into my existing XSL customizations. This "works", but it takes too much time because of the internal convertion of DocBook 5 to DocBook 4.) As such, it would be nice to have a clear separation: use the normal, non-namespace variant for version 4 and the namespace-aware for version 5. However, we have some some hefty DocBook XSL customizations; a "DocBook XSL Transition Guide" would be helpful. :) How would you deal with such migration of "old" DocBook 4 XSL customization layers? Any thoughts are highly appreciated! Thanks! :-) [1] http://docbook.org/docs/howto/ -- Gruß/Regards, Thomas Schraitle
