How to publish a DocBook Book

[ManuelS]

Hi,

I created some DocBook (5.1) chapters and now I would like to merge them to a DocBook Book and publish them as a whole.

Kind regards

Hi,

With Docbook you can use xi:include to put together a larger publication:

Basically the Docbook 5.1 Book file should look like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml-model href="http://docbook.org/xml/5.1/rng/docbookxi.rng" schematypens="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0"?>

<?xml-model href="http://docbook.org/xml/5.1/rng/docbook.rng" type="application/xml" schematypens="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron"?>

<book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" 

        xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"

        xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="5.1">

    <info>

        <title/>

        

    </info>

    <xi:include href="chapter1.xml"/>

    <xi:include href="chapter2.xml"/>

    .........

</book>
