Schemas
“The source for documentation.”DocBook is a family of XML vocabularies:
- DocBook
-
The primary schema, ideally suited for technical documents about computer software and hardware.
- Publishers
-
A customization designed for publishing non-technical documents.
- Simplified
-
A customization that reduces DocBook down to about 100 elements.
Historically, there have been other semi-official customizations.
- Website
-
A customization designed for building websites. Obsoleted largely by extensions to the standard DocBook tag set and by improvements to build tooling that make it easy to construct a website from ordinary DocBook documents.
- Slides
-
A customization designed for writing slides. Obsoleted largely for the same reasons as the website customization.
- Forms
-
A web-focused customization for that includes HTML form elements. An experimental vocabulary that never really got any traction.
