Re: [docbook-apps] Creating a separate section/component for Revision History

[David Cramer <david@thingbag.net>]

We do something like what you're contemplating, but add the revhistory
via a preprocessing step. The writer puts <?rax revhistory?> somewhere
in the doc, then we have some templates like these to add a DocBook
table at that point:

https://gist.github.com/4199240

Note that elsewhere we have a shortDate named template that formats
dates to our liking.

The result is passed on to the normal DocBook xslts.
