Re: [docbook] A way to restrict the content in xml:id

[Scott Hudson <scott.hudson@flatironssolutions.com>]

I'd create a separate schematron file. It should be fairly 
straightforward, something like:
	<pattern>
		<rule context="*[@xml:id]">
			<report id="ID_test"
			test="contains(string-join(text(),''),'_')"
			>xml:id value <value-of select="@xml:id"/> must NOT contain 
underscores or capitals as they do not work properly with our build 
tools and outputs. </report>
		</rule>
	</pattern>

I'm not sure about testing for caps, but you may want to visit 
http://schematron.com for more details.

Best regards,
