DTD version and XSL Stylesheet version.

2009-11-12T20:13:02Z

Hello there,

I am trying to use DocBook DTD and Stylesheet in one of my project. I
downloaded the DTD and DocBook XSL stylesheets. I am trying to find
out which version of DTD that current version of Stylesheet work with.
I looked at the files in the downloaded files and searched the mail
archive, but I did not find the information. Would any one where to
find the information?

Sorry for asking this question.

Thanks
Jingjun

Hello,

Just sharing our experience.

We have been successfully using processing XHTML transformed to DocBook v5.0 and through a well defined XML Pipe to the digital book formats, such as ePub and Amazon/ Mobipocket's Kindle format AZW. We have used DocBook 5.0 for all kinds of books - fictions, non-fictions, textbooks, books that would be transformed to accessibility formats such as NIMAS and DAISY, and we are confidant that version 5.0 of DocBook is fully capable of delivering what is required for multi-format transformation and publishing.

Hello,

Currently I've start translating technical book into japanese using DocBook. But unfortunately, I'm not sure which version of DocBook which
is 4.5 or 5 suitable for doing that because of lack of my experience.

I'm now concentrating on translation from English from Japanese.

Please tell me latest pros and cons about each version.

Best regards,
Akihiro Moriguchi

Re: [docbook] Add the book name to the title

Thanks Bob!

For those people interested, here is the code I used to get the name
of the document and prepend it to the <title> information:

<xsl:variable name="my.title.parameter">
<xsl:call-template name="get.doc.title"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template name="head.content">
<xsl:param name="node" select="."/>
<xsl:param name="title">
<xsl:value-of select="$my.title.parameter"/>
<xsl:text>: </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$node" mode="object.title.markup.textonly"/>
</xsl:param>
.
.
.

Thanks,
