Subject: DocBook Slides 5.0 alpha1 available for testing
Dear DocBook Users, I'm proud to announce the second alpha of the new DocBook Slides 5.0 schema extension, rewritten for DocBook 5.0. Please take into account that this is a really early version and may contain bugs and later changes may break compatibility with this version (although the schema probably will not change heavily). It is purely meant to be preview for interested users, who are willing to test it. This extension is written in RELAX-NG for the DocBook 5.0 RELAX-NG schema and uses a new namespace for Slides elements. You can convert your old Slides with the XSLT in the tools directory, which should be able to deal with all common cases. Currently, stylesheets are only available for XHTML-based formats. The recommended format is HTML Slidy or plain XHMTL with custom CSS. The quite widespread S5 format is also available but development of the upstream code seems to be discontinued so its use is discouraged. All of these stylesheets are based on the slightly modified NS-aware DocBook stylesheets. The alpha version can be downloaded from here: http://kovesdan.org/files/slides-5.0-alpha2.tar.gz After downloading, please start at the ALPHATEST file. Regards, Gabor Kovesdan Changelog ======================================================================= Slides 5.0 alpha 2 - Deliver S5 and Slidy files with a slightly modified styling that is more appropriate for slides. - slides:rnc: Add the incremental and collapsable to the dbs namespace to better distinguish that they are part of DocBook Slides - slides.rnc: Allow inline MathML and SVG in foil content. - slides.rnc: Add a block element to control layout on foils - slides.rnc: Introduce a dbs:style attribute for adding styling info to specific elements. - slides.rnc: Allow title, titleabbrev and subtitle outside info. - dbs3-upgrade.xsl: Copy inline MathML and SVG chunks. - dbs3-upgrade.xsl: Do not enclose title, titleabbrev, subtitle into info if they were not wrapped in the original document. - xhtml/plain.xsl: Add extensive support for inline MathML and SVG. There are several ways to embed them into the output and it can be tuned by XSL parameters. - xhtml/plain.xsl: Properly handle title generating based on the above change and always prefer titleabbrev over title if present. - xhtml/plain.xsl: Rework attribute processing so that inheritance work as supposed to - xhtml/plain.xsl: Support blocks by wrapping content into classed divs. They can be styled in user.css. - xhtml/*.xsl: Add support for incremental images. - xhtml/*.xsl: Support for an extra user.css that can hold additional styling over those of S5/Slidy - doc/slides.xml: Add SVG and MathML examples - doc/slides.xml: Add incremental image example - doc/slides.xml: Add an user.css to support incremental image - doc/slides.xml: Mention using bibliography for references - doc/slides.xml: Add a block example - doc/slides.xml: Reorganize image-related content - doc/slides.xml: Use CALS tables that are better supported by DocBook XSL - doc/slides.xml: Update mini-reference Slides 5.0 alpha 1 - Initial rewrite from scratch for DocBook 5.0. For now only supported output formats are plain XHTML, S5 and W3C Slidy.
