Subject: Re: [docbook] Advice needed on annotating page breaks...
Hi, even if it is close to heresy, but wouldnt TEI (http://www.tei-c.org) be a better choice of a DTD to preserve the structure of existing dead-tree documents? TEI was designed for that purpose and has a variety of elements to support problems like yours, e.g. the pb element that denotes a pagebreak in the original text. regards, Markus > On Tue, 2006-10-24 at 17:00 +1000, Stuart Hungerford wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I need a little bit of advice from the DocBook community > > on the best way to handle this situation: > > > > We're creating DocBook documents that are re-typed > > versions of various old paper published documents.
