Hi,

I get a validity error if I remove the tag from the revhistory. In spite of the DocBook-2.0.17: (revnumber?,date,... But in the DocBook-2.0.12, we had: (revnumber, date,...

Is "validate" based on an old version of Docbook?

(I thought I had resolved the problem we discuss a few days ago by adding a tag :-( ).

It should depend on the dtd in the "<!DOCTYPE" line of the source file.</p><p>Try removing <revnumber> and then changing "4.3" to "4.5" (2x!) in the "<!DOCTYPE" line. This worked for me.

Then we should consider switching to DocBook-4.5 (Oct 2006).

I tried :
<!DOCTYPE sect2 PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd"> This doesn't work :-(. I still have a validity error. (4.5 is installed on my computer)

Impossible! ;-)

Did you try xmllint --nonet --valid --noout /path/to/modfied.xml?

~/SVN-po/trunk> xmllint -nonet --valid --noout src/menus/file-close.xml src/menus/file-close.xml:85: element link: validity error : IDREF attribute linkend references an unknown ID "glossary-xcf"

Did you really replaced both "4.3" strings?

Sure, as you can see in Vitaly's message ;-) I repeated the test.

What happens when you replace "4.3" with "4.6" (which is not installed)?

Hi,

That's it! This message depends on the DocBook version. DocBook-4.5 would accept this , DocBook-4.3 won't.

Yes, DocBook-4.5 is recognized by my system. But why doesn't it accept "revnumber?" ?

We must get rid of this tag, because "svn status" goes on listing as "M" the files I have committed, only because the revnumber has changed. It is not easy to know which revnumber will be given to a file on committing when editing it.

But it would be interesting to keep a without because of the date, author and revremark tags.

It *does*, you were fooled by error messages which had nothing to do with the tags. Try it again with a file that is valid according to DocBook-4.3 DTD.

I tried with several files that were valid for dockbook-4.3 and I always get the same error...

We must get rid of this tag, because "svn status" goes on listing as "M" the files I have committed, only because the revnumber has changed.

Are you sure? IMHO this can't happen: the *real* text is "$Revision$" (in the xml file), and what we see is just subversion's expanded text.

1- I create a pot file, after editing the xml file. 2- I create the po-fr file.
3- I commit
Some days after, I "svn update". The revnumber in the xml file is changed. 4- I run make po-fr : the msgid "$Revision: xxxx $" is changed and the item is marked as "Fuzzy"
5- svn status lists the po file as "M"...and there you have it!

If I run "make pot" for all xml files, it's worse: I have a huge commit with all the po-fr, that I have not time to edit. So I have to create pot one by one.

But it would be interesting to keep a without because of the date, author and revremark tags.

I can live without that information... ;-)

Good! Too many problems with this minor question. I'll remove the tags

Bye,

Julien
