Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] SWF file type for imagedata or videodata - Why not?
Hi again, I've been searching for RFE #697981 in the The DocBook Document Type Committee Draft 4.3, 31 Mar 2004 (http://www.docbook.org/specs/cd-docbook-docbook-4.3.html) and cannot find it listed as an enhancement. Am I missing something as the issue at http://sourceforge.net/tracker//index.php?func=detail&group_id=21935&atid=38 4107&aid=697981 shows a status of closed as of 2003-10-21 and the previous post set the expectation that it'd be in V4.3? My second question is that since Simplified DocBook is a subset of DocBook elements; are common elements, like imagedata/videodata, in Simplified DocBook also enhanced over time as the DocBook elements are enhanced - or - do I need to file a separate RFE to also add SWF for Simplified DocBook?

He considers this an oversight since we approved 'PDF' and have approved other similar requests. He is going to get it into version 4.3 of the DTD.

I believe an RFE was filed in May. I know I've been waiting on it.

SWF is a standard extension for a "wide-spread" ShockWave Flash presentation files. Adding 'SWF' to format enumeration would allow including such media files in DocBook documens. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=2438755&forum_id=6940 -----Original Message----- From: Bob Stayton [mailto:bobs@sco.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 19:52 To: David Pratt Cc: 'Docbook-Apps' Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] SWF file type for imagedata or videodata - Why not? You can file an RFE on the SourceForge DocBook tracker to get it on the agenda of the DocBook Technical Committee.
