This file contains some tips on how to create documentation using this docbook system. | |
Recommended editor = XMLBuddy plugin for Eclipse. This will read the docbook dtd, | |
plus any customized Entities you might declare, and make them available for | |
Eclipse auto-completion and checking. | |
Entities you declare can be put into shared entity files, and then | |
essentially included in other files. See Chapter 22 of the DocBook XSL, the | |
Complete Guide, for examples. | |
NOTES: | |
The functionality for xi:include relative linking when the thing being included was | |
in a different directory from the includer was broken. | |
This showed up in image fileref= attributes being improperly / inconsistently translated | |
to src=... attributes in the generated xml. Work-around: give up for now | |
in having subdirectories - put all things into one directory. | |
The qandaset functionality works but the FOP processor 0.20.5 seems to have trouble | |
handling id= attributes; it's giving an incorrect error message about a duplicate id tag, | |
when, in fact, there is no duplicate. Work-around: give up using qandaset - just use | |
variablelist instead. | |
Parameters for Docbook are described in the FO ref: | |
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/index.html | |
body.start.indent fails on FOP - use title.margin.left instead |
