RE: DocBook Technical Committee Meeting Agenda: 12 September 2018

Hello, Scott (and everyone else),

Attached please find a ZIP file with an XML sample document and an HTML rendering of it (done from within oXygen, and the PDF rendering was atrocious).

This is in fulfillment of 5.f.

The sample document is an article with two sections in it, one for an End User License Agreement and the other for an Additional License Authorizations document. They represent samples of the two types of license documents we have to produce in this environment. There are two sections because I needed two info elements with some separation between them to hold the legalnotice elements. I looked over the two types of documents we produce at HPE (links to each of them in the document) and tried to create samples of each type of information that was included in the samples in my experimental document. I did not make any attempt at tuning the render (probably don't really want things like âthe section called âEnd User License Agreementâ instead of just the name of the section). However, I tried to make a reasonable representation of the documents in question using the 5.1 legalnotice structure.

My conclusions are in the XML document, but the short form is that for EULAs it looks like a reasonable fit, but for the ALA it seems like a real stretch to do it without the idea of sections (or legalsections) inside the legalnotice. It is doable but I really dislike how it was done (see the notes in the documents). There also seem to be some fairly far out things like funcsynopsis that Iâm not entirely sure I understand why they would show up in a legalnotice, but I had to use a screen to get a fixed-width, preformatted presentation, so I guess the broad range of markup is useful.

Started working on the assembly schema with xi:xinclude in it for 5.e but have been struggling a little with how xi:include works in DocBook itself. I also noticed that Bob had something related to it in 5.g â sorry I didnât complete this sooner but it is a heavier lift than I anticipated. I may have to spring for a copy of oXygen to use at home so that I donât have to stay so late to do things at work â wish there was a hobbyist version.

Regards,

Larry Rowland

e. Larry to create a candidate for the necessary schema changes to add XInclude support for Assemblies for DocBook 5.2.

f. Larry to create an alternative structure using legalnotice as a block, and see if legalsection is needed, or if the existing block elements would suffice.

g. Bob to create a sample of add XInclude to assembly (enables structure as a resource) and test stylesheet mods to see if it introduces further issues.

h. Scott to announce availability of 5.0.1 as ready for review COMPLETED.

i. Scott to follow up with Norm to generate the 5.1 DTD and document the process for generating it. COMPLETED.
"Several years ago, after a lot of effort, I concluded that it wasnât possible. I began working on the XSD version of DocBook by hand because I thought I could generate a DTD from that. I expect thatâs still the most practical way forward. Be seeing you, norm"

j. Bob/Jirka to include Assembly proposals in 5.2: CONTINUED.

i. Grammar is used to identify a particular set of content. A matching grammar should also appear on the transform to convert the content appropriately.
