Subject: DOCBOOK: Re: A couple issues to discuss....
/ Eric Bischoff <ebisch@cybercable.tm.fr> was heard to say: | Norman Walsh wrote: | > | > Could you please start a thread about this on the docbook | > mailing list (docbook@lists.oasis-open.org)?

But I'm not on this list, and I don't want to | subscribe to yet another list ;-). | | Can you forward this to the docbook list? (Please feel free | to correct any wrong assumption I could make in this | explanation.) | | ------------------------------------------------ | Explanation of the problem : | | The KDE project has recently switched to docbook (currently | 3.1). | | In the metainformation about the authors we need to mention | the email and the type of contribution of various authors. | | The email is usually their personal email, not the email of | KDE nor an email at KDE. So far, we have been unable to | specify this email address outside of <affiliation>. This is | wrong, it would mean it's the email of (or at) the KDE | project. | | The type of contribution may be one of "redaction" "upgrade" | "proofreading" "translation", etc.... Some of these look | like real <author>s, other ones could be classified as | <othercredit>s. Right now, we are hesitating between putting | this type of contribution to the document in | <affiliation><jobtitle> or in a "role" attribute. None of | them is really satisfactory. For example, a <jobtitle> in | <affiliation> would rather mean "the usual work this person | is doing in this organization" and would be more convenient | for things like "programmer" or "editor". | | A solution would be to enable <email> and <jobtitle> | directly at <author> or <othercredit> level. | ------------------------------------------------ | | By the way, Norm ;-) : | | - <email> should be rendered as an anchor <a> by the HTML | stylesheets | when this tag is encountered in the bookinfo. | | - | isn't rendered as '|' by the HTML stylesheets | | - I've forwarded to you a problem about a division by zero | in dbtable.dsl | | -- | Éric Bischoff - mailto:ebisch@cybercable.tm.fr | __________________________________________________ | \^o~_. | .~. ______ /( __ ) | /V\ Toys story \__ \/ ( V | // \\ \__| (__=v | /( )\ |\___/ ) | ^^-^^ \_____( ) | Tux Konqui \__=v | __________________________________________________
