Subject: DOCBOOK: newbie Q's about Simplified DocBook 1.0b2
Hi, I'm attempting to use Simplified DocBook 1.0b2. I have a couple of questions about it. I've only dabbled in DocBook before, so please forgive my ignorance or point me to a FAQ or more appropriate forum if this isn't the place to ask. 1. http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/para.html shows an example wherein a <para> contains an <itemizedlist>. Simplified DocBook doesn't seem to allow this. I just want to make sure this was a deliberate change. Is the correct approach in Simplified DocBook to keep lists as blocks separate from paragraphs? 2. In my document, I want to provide some examples of command-line input and program output. I was just going to use <screen>, but that's not available in Simplified DocBook. Instead of <screen>, I am using <literallayout class="monospaced" format="linespecific"> and mixing <computeroutput> and <userinput> within it, as necessary. For example, <literallayout class="monospaced" format="linespecific"><computeroutput> $ <userinput>echo foo | tr 'f' 'p'</userinput> poo </computeroutput></literallayout> As with <screen>, I am living with the limitations imposed by being unable to have xml:space="preserve" on the <literallayout>. Does this sound like the right way to go about marking up the kind of text I'm dealing with? Many thanks, - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | resume: http://skew.org/~mike/resume/
