Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Only transform certain tags

Thanks, Bob. This was just what I needed. You've saved me a lot of headache and my surroundings from a lot of ugly Perl :) Actually this is related to a posting on the list a few days ago about use-cases. Developers here were complaining that DocBook was overly verbose when writing up use-cases (we wanted to put them in a table, so it seemed that there were more tags than text in the documents). Our solution is to add a transparent transformation-layer that will expand a set of home-grown use-case tags into DocBook before moving on to HTML. We also extended the DTD with these tags so everyone can stay happy with their PSGML-modes :) This approach works so nicely that we plan on plugging in more custom modules: requirements, test-plans, etc. Thanks Bob for the tip, and thanks Norm for making extending DocBook so easy. /claus
