The committee voted and approved moving 4.5 to become a full OASIS Standard. Norm will submit by July 15 for a vote at the beginning of August. 7. DocBook 5 issues. None reported. 8. Proposal for more comprehensive numbering. Norm's email [2] described the current state of numbering of DocBook elements. The group discussed two items: marking every nth line with numbers, and starting number on procedures. Larry suggested that the author should be able to control the frequency of line number display in a literal layout element. He said a very short listing might need all lines numbered, but a long listing might number every 5th line. Jirka suggested that this is a stylesheet issue. Adding startingnumber attribute to procedure was discussed. An example was given of a description of a modifified procedure, where only steps 3-5 were changed, so the modification description should be able to start on step 3. The group did not reach decisions on either item. ACTION: Larry will write up a modified version of Norm's mail to discuss further by email. 9. Units markup, see [3]. A markup language for number units is being developed. This item was intended as an information item only, not as a proposal for DocBook, although it might be useful for certain customizations. 10. Review of Requests for Enhancement To browse a specific RFE, enter the URL (on one line): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&; group_id=21935&atid=384107&aid=XXXX 1478012 Add linumsep and linenumstep to programlisting and screen See agenda item #8. 1503012 New PRINTINFO for INFO The existing colophon element might be an appropriate place for this information. ACTION: Bob to ask the submittor about using colophon instead. 1512505 profiling attribute for customer The group felt that there are already a large number of profiling attributes, and that perhaps this one was a bit too specific. We discussed adding a more general "audience" attribute. ACTION: Bob to add "audience" profiling attribute to next month's agenda. - --- [1] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/200605/msg00015.html [2] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/200606/msg00003.html [3] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/200606/msg00000.html Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises DocBook Consulting bobs@sagehill.net
