Docbook 5.0 and stylesheets

[Karen Schneider <kgschneider@gmail.com>]

Hi, I'm reposting a message from Betty, an intern who is subscribed to this list but having difficulty posting.. Note that I think I have partially found the answer from the following document, http://www.docbook.org/docs/howto/ , which includes links to http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/ , but I am still seeking general clarification about why 4.0 seems to be the norm (I mean, to a newcomer it seems odd that I'd produce 5.0 documents and then process them back to 4.0?!)... because of a large installed base, or something else?

Subject: DocBook 5 Stylesheets
Hello,

I have been looking at the "Using XInclude" example in Ch. 23 - Modular
DocBook - of DocBook XSL.

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ModularDoc.html#UsingXinclude

I would like to create the chapter file and book file using DocBook 5
and DocBook 5 stylesheets. I also plan to use xsltproc. What changes do
I need to make in the xml files, and where can I locate DocBook 5
stylesheets?

Thanks in advance.

Betty
