Publican's templates for <book>, <article>, and <set> are not DocBook 5 compatible. Specifically: * <bookinfo>, <articleinfo>, and <setinfo> are all just <info> in DocBook 5 * <pubsnumber> is <biblioid> * <corpauthor> is <orgname> * the id= attribute is now xml:id throughout * <firstname> and <surname> must be wrapped in <personname> in DocBook 5 * <revhistory> can no longer be a child of <simpara> (<para> works fine though)
(In reply to comment #0) > * <revhistory> can no longer be a child of <simpara> (<para> works fine > though) As it turns out the <revhistory> can actually be included directly in the <appendix>. I noticed another issue here though in that: - <revhistory> cannot be included directly in the <book> (unlike an <article>) which is why we have it in an appendix. - An <appendix> must have a title. - A <revhistory> must also have a title. The last of these appears to be new in DocBook 5 [1] (previously <revhistory> could only contain <revision> [2]). The result of this is we end up with redundant titling in our use case.

(In reply to comment #1) Interestingly even when I do add a <title> to both the <appendix> and the <revhistory> elements I still get this error: Element title in namespace '' encountered in revhistory, but no template matches.
(In reply to comment #1) > - A <revhistory> must also have a title. Looking further this seems to be incorrect, the title is actually optional, though if you do choose to include it you do get the error I indicated in comment # 2.
HSS-QE has reviewed and declined this request. QE for this bug will be handled by IED.
The basic code is in place. $ publican create --dtdver 5.0 --name Test_DB5_Book "dtdver" is temporary, there will be a better named option after more splitting of hairs. But you can create and validate/build this DocBook5 book. To ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/publican.git 4be1028..7d23e61 HEAD -> devel
This is in place in devel branch and can be tested. Suggestions on alternative names for --dtdver accepted.
