Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: Date in PCDATA?
/ Laurie Mann <laurie.mann@ansys.com> was heard to say: | Not necessarily. When you send documents out for review, | it can be VERY HELPFUL to know when you printed it off. When I send out documents for review, I always put a version number on them, and diligently bump that number the moment after I've sent a version out for review. | >What's important is *when was it | >last modified*. For this, I think entities serve just fine: | > | ><!DOCTYPE ... [ | ><!ENTITY last-modified-year "2000"> | ><!ENTITY last-modified-month "Aug"> | ><!ENTITY last-modified-day "07"> | ><!-- or even, let CVS/RCS handle it --> | ><!ENTITY last-modified "$Id$"> | >]> | | Would you need to touch the DTD every time you wanted | to print a date, or could you defined this in an | entities file? (Actually, it looks like you | could put the entity definitions into the driver...) The entity declarations go in the individual document(s). Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | The art of being wise is the art http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | of knowing what to Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | overlook.--William James
