I've just finished converting all of my active HOWTOs to DocBook.
|
|
While doing this, I have run across one problem with DocBook itself
|
|
and two problems with the stylesheets.
|
|
|
|
1. Missing <newsgroup> tag.
|
|
|
|
The problem with the DocBook markup itself is that I cannot find any
|
|
way to semantically tag a USENET newsgroup name. This comes up
|
|
especially frequently in connection with LDP HOWTOs, which often
|
|
cite newsgroups.
|
|
|
|
We're missing a <newsgroup> element, which would be desirable for the
|
|
same reason as <email>. Consider
|
|
|
|
<newsgroup>comp.os.linux.announce</newsgroup>
|
|
|
|
In HTML output, this wants to become
|
|
|
|
<a href="<A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.announce"">news:comp.os.linux.announce"</A>;>comp.os.linux.announce</a>
|
|
|
|
But in print we probably want the equivalent of
|
|
|
|
<emphasis>comp.os.linux.announce</emphasis>
|
|
|
|
without news URL.
|
|
|
|
2. Stylesheet problems in HTML output.
|
|
|
|
Using the docbook-style-dsssl-1.54-4 package, I note that in HTML output
|
|
|
|
A: Contents and title are badly ordered. That is, the table of
|
|
contents is set before the document title and front matter.
|
|
|
|
B: No break between front matter and first body section.
|
|
|
|
C: Contents of the author tag is rendered as a single run-on-line with
|
|
no line breaks or spacing.
