[oXygen-user] DocBook question

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

The current DocBook version is 4.4 and we plan to integrate it in the 
next version of <oXygen/>. DocBook 5.0 will not be supported before it 
becomes an official OASIS specification.

DocBook NG was not released as a OASIS specification yet. From the 
docbook.org site: "At the moment, it's just an exploration by Norm. It 
has utterly no normative value at all."

Norman Walsh says that DocBook 5.0 is still work in progress:

http://norman.walsh.name/2005/01/03/DocBook-05

"I think there are a couple of technical road blocks ahead. One is the 
inability to produce any sort of DTD version of 5.0. I've been working 
on that, but didn't get as much time over the recent break as I 
expected. More news when I have some."

"I don't think we can move to 5.0 without reasonably adequate reference 
documentation."

Best regards,
Sorin
