Academic publishing use of DocBook

[Brad Scott <brad.scott@brambletye-publishing.co.uk>]

Hi

I'm new to the list, if not to DocBook. I've been doing digital 
publishing stuff since the 90s, which often now includes helping 
publishers with data workflows, specs and documentation.

I was wondering if there are any folks out there who have experience of 
using DocBook for academic humanities and social science books. I'm keen 
to compare notes especially on any "standards" you may have adopted for 
some features, especially references and notes, and for more complex 
edition handling (distinguishing between authorial/editorial text, 
marginal notes, etc).

I've also got cases where I have endnotes, which also have surrounding 
editorial text, so one needs to be able to preserve the original context 
of the notes, as well as maintain the pointers to them in the text body.

I'm sure this isn't the first such use of DocBook, so I'm keen not to 
reinvent the wheel. I am, however, keen to develop some good examples.

Thanks

Brad Scott
