Subject: RE: [docbook] is there any way to code genus & species names in docbook XML


Since DocBook is all about technological (computer related) items there's no special markup for biological terms as you need it.
 
If you do not have other requirements, you could simply use some non-semantic inline markup like <emphasis></emphasis> to get the genus and species names italic.
 
If you'd like to have <genus> and <species> as elements within your XML, you had to customize the DTD as described on http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/ch05.html "Customizing DocBook"; then you had to provide the matching XSL routines for the new elements aswell (see http://www.sagehill.net/xml/docbookxsl/CustomMethods.html#d0e4162 "Writing a customization layer" ff.)

Subject: [docbook] is there any way to code genus & species names in docbook XML

Hello,
 
I want to code some genus & species names in italic format. Is there any coding available in docbook for the same? If not then how can I add these names in my XML?
 
Thanks in advance for all your kind help.
 
Regards
Raju Sharma
