I have a DocBook schema that has been extended by a few elements and that I
would like to use with XMLMind. However, when I open an XML that is created
after that schema, XMLMind does not recognize that this is a DocBook schema and
does not enter the editor mode.
Is there any way to make XMLMind learn that this schema is also a DocBook
schema?
I've written an add-on which allows to use XMLmind XML Editor to edit
documents conforming to your DocBook 5 customization.
I'll send you privately a link allowing you to download the .zip file
containing the add-on.
In order to install the add-on:
1) Download the .zip file and save it as is, zipped, somewhere. For
example, let's say you saved it as "C:\temp\docbook_bsi.zip".
2) Start XXE.
3) Select Options|Preferences, "Install Add-ons" section.
4) Click "Search add-ons in this directory" and specify directory
"C:\temp". (More info in
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/installAddonsOptions.html)
5) Click OK to close the Preferences dialog box.
6) Select "Options|Install Add-ons".
7) Click the checkbox in front of "Configuration | DocBook 5, BSI
customization". (More info in
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.app.part.InstallAddonsDialog.html)
8) Click OK to close the dialog box and restart XXE as instructed.
9) "File|New" should have now a "DocBook BSI|Book" entry and any DocBook
5 document having a root element with attribute version="5.0-variant
bsi" will be recognized as being a "DocBook BSI" document.
--> About the docbook_bsi.zip add-on:
* The core of the add-on is configuration file docbookbsi.xxe

* The docbook_bsi.css you sent me is unusable with XMLmind XML Editor
(no offense intended). I have starting rewriting it as docbookbsi.css.
For now, it's just:
---
@import url(docbook5-config:css/docbook5.css);
/*
* Custom styles and style redefinitions here.
*/
note[type]:before {
content: attr(type);
}
---
Even after you finish it, this CSS cannot be more than a few lines long
given your customization of DocBook 5.
* Please do not forget to add xml:lang="de" to the root element of your
documents, otherwise XMLmind XML Editor thinks that you are writing
English documents.
* All what I've done can be done by any third-party XML guru having read:
