Introduction to DocBook XML DTD and Schemas 5.0

The DocBook XML DTD and Schemas-5.0 package contains document type definitions and schemas for verification of XML data files against the DocBook rule set. These are useful for structuring books and software documentation to a standard allowing you to utilize transformations already written for that standard. In addition to providing a DTD, version 5 introduced the RelaxNG schema and Schematron rules, and is incompatible with previous versions of DocBook XML.
