DocBook NG: The “Jägermeister” and “IPA” Releases
This release includes a couple of new elements and all the changes I forgot to announce in “IPA”.
This is the tenth release of DocBook NG. (Somehow I forgot to write an essay for the ninth release, “IPA”, though happily it didn't go unnoticed.)
In the interest of completeness, the user-visible changes in the “IPA” release were:
-
Added
citerefentry
andcitebiblioid
to the list of elements that can appear in bibliography entries; removedtitleabbrev
. -
Reduced the content model of a bunch of inlines (
command
and others that were way to broad). -
Added
link
,xref
,superscript
, andsubscript
to the list of “ubiquitous” inlines. -
Added
date
to the list of publishing inlines. -
Added some inlines to
computeroutput
anduserinput
. -
Added some new exclusions (preventing admonitions and formal objects from being nested; removing some of the same from
footnote
). -
Removed the
highlights
element. A candidate for therole
attribute if I ever saw one. -
Fixed bug that didn't allow
sect1
inarticle
when numbered sections are included.
The user-visible changes in “Jägermeister” are:
-
Added
mathphrase
for simple equations. -
Added
termdef
for inline term definitions. -
The constraints on
spanname
,colname
,namest
, andnameend
where tightened. This should prevent some illogical if not strictly illegal combinations.

Your IPA announcement didn't go unnoticed from me either! :-) http://shudson310.blogspot.com/2005/02/time-for-ipa.html
Keep up the good work! I've even been using the Simplified IPA version you sent me, in conjunction with XML Hack #78!
I'm planning to publish Jägermeister versions of Simplified and perhaps the other doctypes next week. But first I need to fix the bugs you pointed out and clean up a few things.
