  • 1.  docbook ns vs. vanilla docbook? (epub) when to use?

    Posted 12-02-2010 18:43
    In a separate thread (I don't remember where) Keith F. mentioned that
    for the epub stylesheets, I should use the vanilla docbook xsl.

    This was in reference to a bug. Keith, will this continue to be your
    recommendation for the medium term, or was this only for that
    particular release?

    Also, are there particular contexts in which it would be better to use
    docbook-ns and certain contexts not to? Does it depend only on the
    output type?

    There are a number of tradeoffs for the -NS versions for DocBook 5.0
    documents, but I strongly recommend avoiding any DocBook-XSL-NS
    release if you're creating EPUB documents. The stylesheets have not
    been tested for the -NS release and suffer a number of bugs.

    I'm not aware of any reason to avoid -NS for other outputs.

    Is there any place where we can learn about the problems? I used the
    -ns stylesheets for ePub output (as I already do for other outputs)
    and didn't notice any issues.

    Hi,

    Generally the best place to check out any potential DB problems at a feature level in on the sourceforge page. Usually, I can figure out what documentation problems I'm going to run into based on the bug or todo.

    I think a challenge using the NS stylesheets is tooling. If a lightweight is desired with free or low-cost tools that validate (say RelaxNG and XInclude) , I don't see very many choices when factoring in cost. Although there are some good choices.

    Best,
    Scott
