A few updates on the documentation

 

Hi there.

Just to let you know, I have made a few updates to the documentation I
wanted to make everyone aware of.

1) Due to some changes in the DocBook stylesheets, all references to
DocBook elements must now be declared through a namespace in the XSL
document.  In the main stylesheet which handles transformation from
the DocBook source to PDF and RFT, the DocBook namespace has been
declared through

xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";

Lower down in the style sheet, we make reference to the title as ..

<xsl:value-of select="db:bookinfo/db:title" />

Note that the namespace must appear along with the XML element you
referring to. So, if you are going to create your own stylesheet or
want to modify the current one, be sure to use the name space
explicitly, otherwise, the stylesheets may not behave as you expect.

2) I have added RTF (Rich text format) as a target output. This RTF
format can be easily opened in Microsoft Office or Open Office.

3) Serna has released version 4.3 of the Serna Free XML editor. It
offers a few improvements and fixes and would be a good idea to
upgrade when you get a chance, but it is not particular urgent.


Regards,
Jason
