- README for the Simplified DocBk XML V3.1.4.1 DTD
-
- This is a simplified version of the DocBk XML V3.1.3 DTD. This
- DTD is my attempt to make a small subset of DocBook. I tried to
- achieve the following goals:
-
- * Documents written in the subset must be 100% legal DocBk XML
- documents.
-
- * This is for small documents, articles and the like, so
- there's no need for 'book's or 'set's, just 'article's.
-
- * The markup should be the smallest practical subset, if you
- need richly structured markup, use DocBook or DocBk XML.
-
- * The result is roughly "HTML-level markup in DocBook", but I
- didn't set out explicitly to produce that result.
-
- * The DTD must work in IE5 (it's XML not SGML). It should be
- small enough to download more-or-less painlessly.
-
- * There should be a CSS stylesheet for it (mine's pretty lame).
-
- * There should be an XSL stylesheet for it. Since I'm in the
- somewhat privileged position of knowing how many changes are
- coming, I'm going to wait until after the next draft ;-).
-
- Instead of DocBook's 350+ elements, this DTD has fewer than 100.

- Installation
- ------------
-
- Place the files in this distribution somewhere on your machine. Adjust
- your catalog(s) if appropriate (XML tools frequently do not support
- catalogs, so this may be irrelevant for you).
-
- Please use the following formal public identifier to identify this DTD:
-
- "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Simplified DocBk XML V3.1.4.1//EN"
-
- For example, if your document's top-level element is <article>, and
- you are using this DTD directly, use the FPI in the DOCTYPE
- declaration:
-
- <!DOCTYPE article
- PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Simplified DocBk XML V3.1.4.1//EN"
- "/system/identifier/on/your/system/sdocbook.dtd" [
- ...
- ]>
-
-
- Note: if you are using the customization layer directly (sdocbook-custom.dtd),
- you may have to adjust the system identifier that points to the DocBk XML
- DTD. You will also have to install the DocBk XML V3.1.3 DTD somewhere on
- your system.
