The Simplified DocBook DTD is a small
subset of the DocBook XML DTD.
The online
summary shows just how small this subset
is.
Over the years, the notion of a "simple"
DocBook subset has come up many times. It has
been observed that the number of elements in
DocBook can be a little overwhelming to the
new user.
This DTD is an attempt to make a small
subset of DocBook. The goals of this subset
are:
-
Documents written in the subset must
be 100% legal DocBook documents.
-
This subset for single documents
(articles, white papers, etc.), so
there's no need for books or sets, just
'articles'.
-
The markup should be the smallest
practical subset, if you need richly
structured markup, use full DocBook. In
particular, the subset often selects a
single element from a family of related
elements; for example, programlisting
is provided, but screen is
not.
-
The DTD must work in online browsers
(it's XML not SGML). It must be small
enough to download more-or-less
painlessly.
