docbook-apps

Could someone point me toward a test DocBook XML file? My primary sources
are DocBook: The Definitive Guide and Bob Stayton's DocBook XSL: The
Complete Guide. Haven't noticed anything like a test file, but I could have
missed it. Would prefer DOCTYPE book, but I'm not picky. Thanks, and I
know that I should probably just make one up myself. I would prefer a
known-good test case, if possible.

Thanks,
Mark Twenhafel

Maybe the following directory may help?
https://docbook.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/docbook/trunk/testdocs/tests/

Hi,

The DocBook sources for Version Control with Subversion are available
here: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/trac/browser/tags/en-1.4-final/src/en/book/

Does something simpler like "HelloWorld.xml" exist?

The purpose is to check/test if an XML set works
(i.e. xsltproc, fop, xsl files).

This was asked a few days ago.
The docbook distribution contains test files, but they are not
good examples of 'normal' books/articles etc.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to include in the distribution
an example, perhaps called 'helloWorld.xml' that can be used
for this purpose?

Euis, what root element are you using?
Do you care if it is book or article?

Are you using docbook 4 or 5?

Apology: I forgot to include the original mail. I replied this after looking at
https://docbook.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/docbook/trunk/testdocs/tests/ and
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/trac/browser/tags/en-1.4-final/src/en/book/

No: The purpose is for checking if the utilities works
( like xsltproc, fop, and xsl files).

I am still using DocBook 4.5
