I understand the desire to make the names similar to those of other, existing DocBook elements, but the lengthy names are one of the reasons I don't see that DocBook is a good match for my application (with lots of occaisional authors). > - A ClassSynopsisInfo element was added Perhaps this shows that I don't know enough about the existing DocBook, but ... what is the indended use? Is this for a source-style synopsis presentation as typically found in section 2 & 3 man pages? (I'm presuming this based on the content model and %linespecific.attrib; in the attribute list.) > Attached is the new DTD fragment, you will find complete examples > at http://nwalsh.com/docbook/edbsyn/, including some sample > instances and stylesheets which format them.
