Subject: RE : [docbook] Question: address within entry
Hello, Glad to see docbook list again, in hope to be allowed to post. > Not that I know of. > The DocBook Technical Committee has an active agenda > item to review which info elements are appropriate > for inclusion in inline content outside of the *info > elements. I'll add the content of <entry> to that > discussion. I pick up this thread for a more general question on *info. What is the reason why the info block is sometimes coming after the title (ex: article, book), and before everything in some other cases (ex: section, bibliography)? To continue, is it in your projects to provide a generic info wrapper? This may become very useful with includes (example: as an everywhere signature in a project, with some automatic revhistory fill-in). Related to this topic, I was sad to read: "Future Changes, ArticleInfo will be dropped from the content model of BiblioEntry". I understand that the name is not exactly the best (see above), but the wrapper allows keeping of important information from bibliographic systems (revhistory, keyword, subjects ...). An info block is a good place for that (outside of rendering), and automatic extraction from an author bibliography may be used by a full bibliographic system (or an indexation engine). For the Committee discussions, I can also suggest to think about an inline <subject concept="sujet" thesaurus="rameau">subject</subject>, where @concept is the authorized form of "subject" in the "rameau" thesaurus (I need to implement the iso 5964 standard on thesauri, I would be glad to do it with full compatible docbook). I also notice that <revhistory/> could be in lots of places. I'm using it because it's the only place to find <date/> as a list (in spite of the <revnumber/>). <calendar/>, <chronology/> or <history/> could be better to explain my usages. It's of course of academic or journalistic interest, perhaps software documentation can also find usage of it. Fred.
