Simplified DocBook NG in Kahlúa!

WOOHOO!

As promised, here is the announcement for the next release of Simplified DocBook NG!

Norm Walsh fixed an element name problem from the "Jägermeister" release of full DocBook NG, and at the same time has released an update to Simplified DocBook NG, which hasn't been officially updated since the "Bourbon" release.

This is a customization layer of DocBook NG that implements, as closely as possible, Simplified DocBook V1.1. The only differences are:

  • The <articleinfo>, <objectinfo>, and <sectioninfo> elements have bee replaced by <info>.

  • The <authorblurb> element has been replaced by <personblurb>.

  • The <corpauthor> element has been removed. The DocBook NG equivalent is <orgname> inside <author>.

  • The <personname> element has been added as it's now required for personal names (for example, inside <author>).

  • The <ulink> element has been removed. The equivalent is xlink:href on <link>.

The files are available at: http://docbook.org/docbook-ng/simple/kahlua/

Enjoy! and THANKS NORM!
