Subject: DOCBOOK: Line breaks
I guess this is for Norm: We use a home-grown DTD to author XML documents, which are then transformed to DocBk XML instances (currently using DSSSL/Jade). By popular author request, our authoring DTD offers an inline empty element "newline" to mark a line break within a paragraph. This has proved very convenient for passages like: ***** ... <p>The success of our ACE product is based on the following features:</p> <unorderedlist> <item> <p><em role="bold">Data Integration</em><newline/> Blah blah blah...</p> </item> <item> <p><em role="bold">High Performance</em><newline/> Blah blah blah...</p> </item> .... </unorderedlist> ... ***** What is the best way of handling "newline" in our transformation to DocBk (without customizing the DocBk DTD)? Do Norm's DocBk2HTML stylesheets expect a particular processing instruction for a line break, and if so, what is it? If not, how do Norm's DocBk2HTML stylesheets treat unknown PIs? <aside>Er..uhmm..I am asking these questions in the assumption that a request for including something like "newline" in DocBook would be a vain one - though "newline" is, is it not, structural information?<duck/></aside> Thanks and regards, Dr. Marc Beckers Documentation Consultant Software AG Uhlandstraße 12 D-64297 Darmstadt Phone +49-6151-92-1322 Fax -1612 E-Mail Marc.Beckers@softwareag.com Internet www.softwareag.com
