When will support for 5.0 and/or NG be added? I'm trying to code against 5.0, and am getting errors that I should. The very basic example of an article from the 5.0 book produces the following: F A '(' character or an element type is required in the declaration of element type "entry". soextblx.dtd file:/Developer/Applications/Oxygen/frameworks/ docbook/dtd/soextblx.dtd 316:33 Thanks.

Hello, The current DocBook version is 4.4 and we plan to integrate it in the next version of <oXygen/>. DocBook 5.0 will not be supported before it becomes an official OASIS specification. DocBook NG was not released as a OASIS specification yet. From the docbook.org site: "At the moment, it's just an exploration by Norm. It has utterly no normative value at all." Norman Walsh says that DocBook 5.0 is still work in progress: http://norman.walsh.name/2005/01/03/DocBook-05 "I think there are a couple of technical road blocks ahead. One is the inability to produce any sort of DTD version of 5.0. I've been working on that, but didn't get as much time over the recent break as I expected. More news when I have some." "I don't think we can move to 5.0 without reasonably adequate reference documentation."

Hi, If you want to use Docbook 5 or NG then you should specify the corresponding DTD or Relax NG schema (from your post it looks like the 4.3 DTD is used for validation). Oxygen has good Relax NG support and I tried it without problems with the DocBook NG schema. As Sorin stated in his reply we will include the latest released version of DocBook with oXygen, but you should be able to use newer (not yet released) versions if you like.
