+Changes Proposed for DocBook V5.0 + +The following backwards-incompatible changes were announced in +DocBook V4.0, the DocBook Technical Committee expects to incorporate +them into DocBook V5.0. + + +Each of the changes proposed is summarized here. For complete +details, consult the individual RFEs and the meeting +minutes. + + +DocBook V5.0 will be primarily an XML +DTD. This will require a wide range of changes. As a result, DocBook +V5.0 will more closely resemble The XML version of DocBook V4.x than +the SGML version. + + +Planned parameter entity +reorganization may reduce some content models. The goal of this +effort is to remove a large number of spurious elements that snuck +into content models during the first parameter entity reorganization +(circa DocBook 2.4). In practice the TC expects changes to have very +little "real world" impact. + + +The coords +attribute will be removed from areaset. + + + +The articleinfo element will be removed from +biblioentry. + + + +The contents attribute will +be removed from bookinfo and setinfo. + + + + +The indexdivcomponent.mix +parameter entity will be restricted. Numbered figures and other +elements inappropriate for an index or +setindex will be removed. + + + +The revhistory element will be removed from +glossterm. + + +RFE 416415: +The constant class +will be removed from systemitem. + + + +The graphic and inlinegraphic elements +will be removed. + + + +Tables will be restricted from full CALS Table Model to the +OASIS Exchange model. + + + +

+Changes Proposed for DocBook V6.0 + +The DocBook Technical Committee expects to announce the following +backwards-incompatible changes in DocBook V5.0, for eventual incorporation +into DocBook V6.0. + + +Each of the changes proposed is summarized here.
