Created attachment 702763 [details] Version of abstract.xsl script that works also in DocBook 5 Description of problem: The current version of the publican/datadir/xsl/abstract.xsl script (which is used to extract the abstract text from a book) does not work in DocBook 5. Attached is a modified version of the abstract.xsl file, which should work for both DocBook 4 and DocBook 5 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Tested in publican 3.0
FYI the DB5 support is very early and completely broken. We really should not have included it in Publican 3.0, calling it a tech preview is extremely generous to the code quality. On the flip side it has made it very clear that splicing DocBook5 support in to the DocBook4 code is un-maintainable in the mid to long term. In the long run setting up the code for proper sub-packaging will allow us much greater opportunity for supporting multiple input formats and make getting DB4 and DB5 support working in harmony much less of a struggle.
