Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: [Frederik Fouvry <fouvry@sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de>] A DocBook problem
| Is there any reason for treating qandaset differently from chunking | section elements? We have made ID elements compulsory for chunk | elements, since some people were violently opposed against the names | generated by the style sheets. To keep a fairly large FAQ manageable | in HTML, I changed qandadiv and qandaset into chunking elements as | well, and I then found that it is not possible to enforce an id | attribute without changing the docbook files (QandA is located before | the redeclaration placeholder). Hence the (admittedly somewhat | inaccurate) question at the beginning of the paragraph ... So, if I understand the question :-), what you're really asking is, how can I make the ID on QandASet required? This ought to do it: <!ENTITY % qandset.attlist "IGNORE"> <!ENTITY % docbook PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN"> %docbook; <!ATTLIST QandASet DefaultLabel (qanda|number|none) #IMPLIED %common.idreq.attrib; %qandset.role.attrib; %local.qandset.attrib;> :-) | And are language codes more or less free, or is the syntax of RFC1766 | recommended (Unix used pt_BR, RFC1766 says pt-BR)? Just wondering if | 'Docbook' had an opinion about it. The documentation says "Lang should be a language code drawn from ISO 639 (perhaps extended with a country code drawn from ISO 3166, as en_US)." Now, I have to admit, I'm disappointed to learn that RFC1766 says "-" while we say, at least implicitly, "_". Um. I suppose you're free to choose either. The stylesheets best support both. Given that RFCs are free (and hence easily available) and ISO standards are expensive, I suppose I have a slight preference for "-", myself. And it's easier to type :-) Cheers, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | I have often wondered why I [keep] http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | going...There [can] be no hope and Member, DocBook Editorial Board | no reward. I always recognized | that bitter truth. But I am a man, | and a man is responsible for | himself.--Sam Magruder (George | Gaylord Simpson)
