The DocBook Technical Committee has published the fifth test release of DocBook V5.0.
This release includes a number of small edits designed to improve consistency in the schema and fix build bugs.
-
Restored the class attribute on <refmiscinfo> (removing the type attribute introduced in V5.0b4). The class attribute is now an enumerated list with the standard otherclass extension point.
-
Added <parameter> to db.technical.inlines. This allows <parameter> to occur in places like <userinput> and <computeroutput>.
-
Allow XInclude elements in <info> elements (in the docbookxi schemas).
-
Fixed bugs in the build process that resulted in broken DTD versions of beta 4 and earlier betas.
I expect to update DocBook 5: The Definitive Guide later this week or early next week.
I also expect to get V4.5 out for consideration as an OASIS Standard before the 15th of April.
