Re: DocBook SGML

[Chris Lale]

Hello José. Success! Thank you again.

I have created a textclass that produces the docbook <screen></screen>
tags. This is what I did (by modifying copies of existing files).

1. Create a file /usr/share/lyx/layouts/docbook-newbiedoc.layout:

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareDocBookClass[article] {DocBook Newbiedoc article (SGML)}
# DocBook textclass definition file.
# Author : Chris Lale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

# Input general definitions
Input db_stdclass.inc
Input db_extra.inc

MaxCounter Counter_Section

# Exclude higher, or equal, sections:
NoStyle Part
NoStyle Chapter


2. Create a file /usr/share/lyx/layouts/db_extra.inc:

# Textclass definition file for docbook with extra tags.
# Author : Chris Lale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

# This is the counterpart of lyxmacros.inc
# It is desireable, as far as possible, to have the same look and feeling for
# related layouts in latex and docbook.

Input lyxmacros.inc

# Screen style definition
Style Screen
LatexType Paragraph
LatexName screen
Font
Family Typewriter
EndFont
End


3. In Lyx, Edit > Reconfigure and restart Lyx.


Now, another question if I may? Can you nest paragraphs? I want the SGML to look like this:

<revhistory>
<revision>
<revnumber>1.2</revnumber>
<date>8th September 2002</date> <authorinitials>CTL</authorinitials>
<revremark>Fixed some mistakes</revremark>
</revision>
<revision>
<revnumber>1.1</revnumber>
<date>28th March 2002</date>
<authorinitials>CTL</authorinitials>
<revremark>Completed sections on configuring</revremark>
</revision>
</revhistory>

Cheers,

Chris.

PS I have been writing articles for the Debian GNU/Linux Newbiedoc project (http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/) using Emacs, but Lyx would be far easier!
