Hi, I'm a MarkLogic Server user wannabe, and I have to say I was a bit shocked to read that the current version doesn't support XSLT transformations. Or is it just that it doesn't support XSLT 2.0? (Although, it seems that the standard DocBook stylesheets are XSLT 1.0.)

But my real question is, what's up with this _slides_ document? I'm also new to DocBook, and am currently working my way through TDG, and I don't see any reference to slides. Google gives me a hodgepodge of links, the most authoritative I found is here: http://me.in-berlin.de/~miwie/presentations/html/dbslides.html , which indicates that this is an extension you wrote, but the link there is broken. Is there a definitive RelaxNG grammar for these? Does it exist as an extenstion to DocBook 5.0?

Thanks!

The current release of MarkLogic Server doesn't support XSLT, only XQuery. Hopefully that won't be true for very much longer :-)

Slides is one of a number of informal extensions to DocBook (Website and Simplified are the others that come immediately to mind). Now that DocBook V5.0 is official, I'll see about getting new releases of these customization layers out.
