   Dear !DocBook 5 people, what do you use instead of XML entities for common text snippets, considering a DTD declaration is no longer needed?

     @mjog !DocBook 5 transclusion is a flexible replacement for #XML entities. Could use XSLT 1 | http://ur1.ca/4k1h5 | http://ur1.ca/4k1ha

   • Michael Gratton The Docbook SGML schema , François Badier

     @frabad is !DocBook 5 transclusion even possible using XSLT1? Requiring XSLT2 seems like a deal breaker since no one implements it.

     @mjog simple unexhaustive #xslt 1.0 transclusion demo not in !docbook namespace. To use it make docbook-xsl import it. http://goo.gl/ypDoU

   Should I use !LaTeX or !DocBook 5 for this writing project? Is DocBook5 ready for primetime?

     @eightyeight @support Regex & wildcard searching with *actionable* search results (also in grp context) could be a great help for gr.admins

   #53622478 @pietercolpaert which reminds me, you could use either !docbook or #rst for building your slides, then export to #pdf. works great

   Ugh, #DITA uses CALS tables. Can't re-use my !DocBook code because I have to deal with conrefs and specialization.

     @ndw Which nonsense? There are so many bits of nonsense flying around I can't keep them straight.

   • Norman Walsh

     @shaunm I was being a bit facetious, I meant the DITA attribute clutter

   • Shaun McCance Norman Walsh

     @ndw Yeah, not a big fan of it either. It is what it is though, and I'm determined to do DITA better than DITA.

    DocBook - I still love you, and love semantic markup in theory. But I also like getting things done fast. Thus my dalliance with AsciiDoc.

      @ralsina i love #rst2pdf! i'm a big #rst fan. i used !docbook for a while, but ultimately, #xml was just too much to deal with

      @facundobatista if that uses sphinx you will have to wait for the sphinx-rst2pdf builder, too.

    i'm enjoying restuctured text so much, i'm half-temped to change my !debian documentation from !docbook to rst, or even #latex. thoughts?

    • Christer Edwards

      @atoponce really serious about using reST huh? I do think LaTeX or reST are simpler than docbook, if only for the lack of open/close tags

      @atoponce !xfce is considering using #reStructuredText for docs, but some hangups are translations and lack of gui-specific syntax.

    so it seems docbook2pdf doesn't support xi:xinclude. must run xmllint to create a full xml file first. !docbook
