Subject: DocBook Slides 5.0 alpha1 available for testing
Dear DocBook Users, I'm proud to announce the first alpha of the new DocBook Slides 5.0 schema extension, rewritten for DocBook 5.0. Please take into account that this is a really early version and may contain bugs and later changes may break compatibility with this version (although the schema probably will not change heavily). It is purely meant to be preview for interested users, who are willing to test it. This extension is written in RELAX-NG for the DocBook 5.0 RELAX-NG schema and uses a new namespace for Slides elements. You can convert your old Slides with the XSLT in the tools directory, which should be able to deal with all common cases. Currently, stylesheets are only available for XHTML-based formats. The recommended format is HTML Slidy or plain XHMTL with custom CSS. The quite widespread S5 format is also available but development of the upstream code seems to be discontinued so its use is discouraged. All of these stylesheets are based on the NS-aware DocBook stylesheets, which are bundled into this alpha release for easier setup. Development of XSL-FO stylesheets will begin in the near future. The alpha version can be downloaded from here: http://kovesdan.org/files/slides-5.0-alpha1.tar.gz After downloading, please start at the ALPHATEST file. When reporting your experiences, please consider that this extension is still under very active development and avoid bikeshedding or complex feature requests. Regards, Gabor Kovesdan
