DocBook V5.0b4
The DocBook Technical Committee has published the fourth test release of DocBook V5.0.
This release includes the changes agreed at the 15 Feb 2006 meeting and a number of other small edits designed to improve consistency in the schema.
-
Fixed RFE 1416903: Added a
cover
element to hold additional material for document covers. Updated reference documentation. -
Corrected a typo in the list of values allowed on the
class
attribute ofbiblioid
: changed “pubnumber” to “pubsnumber” (note the “s”). This is consistent with its use as a replacement for thepubsnumber
tag that has been removed in DocBook V5.0. -
Fixed a bug in the content model of the various “
info
” elements. In previous beta releases, the title-related elements (title
,titleabbrev
, andsubtitle
) were erroneously required to appear first. The requirement is only that they appear exactly or at most once, depending on the context. -
Renamed the “
sgmlcomment
” attribute value of theclass
attribute oftag
. There's no significant difference between XML and SGML comments and the “SGML” name implies that there ought to be an “xmlcomment
” value, which there is not. The new value is simply “comment
”. -
Renamed the “
class
” attribute ofrefmiscinfo
. The DocBook semantics of class attributes is that they have enumerated values. This attribute should always have been called “type
” as it is now. -
Updated
renderas
onbridgehead
andclass
onothercredit
to have “attribute/otherattribute” co-constraints. (In other words, if you select “other” forrenderas
onbridgehead
orclass
onothercredit
, you have to also provide a value forotherrenderas
orothercredit
, respectively. -
Changed
width
attribute in media objects to be “text” instead of “xs:integer
”. -
Fixed bug in the build process that resulted in unusable XML Schema versions of beta 2 and beta 3.
I've once again updated DocBook 5: The Definitive Guide as well.
