docbook-apps

I'm doing an informal survey for the DocBook Technical Committee regarding
schema usage for DocBook 5.0. We would like to know among DocBook 5.0 users:

1. Which schema type are you using (RelaxNG, DTD, XML Schema) and why.

2. What editing tools are you using, and why.

3. What validation tools you are using, and why.

You can reply to the list or to me directly if you like.
Thanks.

RelaxNG but I can't tell you why, I didn't try the other (except thew
DTD). I've change when I "upgraded" for DB4 to DB5.

every new version.

1. Which schema type are you using (RelaxNG, DTD, XML Schema) and why.
RelaxNG. It is easy to customize and we can keep up with future developement.

2. What editing tools are you using, and why.
XMLmind XML Editor. It supports DocBook 5 and XInclude out of the box, it can be easily customized and extended, editing DocBook documents is intuitive and fast as soon as you learn the basics.

3. What validation tools you are using, and why.
XMLMind XML Editor, Jing within Ant build file.

emacs - 'cos ..... it's always open and nxml-mode takes some beating

Jing. It works, even with the -i option :-)

RelaxNG, because it's easy to work with and powerful.

nxml-mode in GNU Emacs, because I'm an Emacs user anyway.
(I used to use XXE - XMLMind XML Editor - as well, which is unfortunately
not free software.)

> 3. What validation tools you are using, and why.

xmllint, because it's fast and just works for me.

DTD, because it provides named character references.

nxml-mode for GNU Emacs, because it's the best tool for my favourite editor.

xmllint, because it's powerful and comes with libxml2

RELAX NG because of its explanation of elements which are shown as a tool
tip in some XML editors (for example, in oXygen) and for its ease of use.

I don't use the other schema types as the are a) not official, and b) are
limited in their expressive power (especially the DTD).


> 2. What editing tools are you using, and why.

Depends:

- Emacs + nXML for the one and only(?) open source editor for
editing with RELAX NG schema
- oXygen for its different editing modes (like the author mode as a
kind of WYSYWYG), XSLT debugging and lots of other good features


> 3. What validation tools you are using, and why.

Normally I use xmllint to validate my DocBook4 documents. However, it
seems it has some problems with the RELAX NG schema of DocBook5. So I use
it mainly to resolve XIncludes (rarely XPointers) and validate it through
jing or msv.
