tyarussoCan anyone recommend a good book for learning DocBook?21:09
j1mctyarusso: http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/21:10
tyarussoah, excellent21:11
j1mctyarusso: that book covers docbook v.5, where ubuntu docs are still on docbook v.4, but *most* of the syntax carries over.21:11
j1mctyarusso: this one covers docbook 4, which is what ubuntu uses: http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/docbook.html21:13
j1mcthe schema for docbook was completely rewritten from docbook 4 to docbook 5, but much of the basic syntax remains the same.21:14
j1mclet us know if you have questions21:14
ddecatorso i was going to ask philbull, but since he's not here maybe someone else can help. i want to apply the "headers" used on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad to the other bugsquad pages since they look nicer. however, since they aren't real headers, that messes up the TOB. someone in #moin suggested i change the theme's css so headers appear that way. are we able/allowed to change the theme for ubuntu pages?21:19
j1mcddecator: what is a TOB?21:22
ddecatorj1mc: Table of Contents21:23
j1mcddecator: i'm a bit unclear on what you mean by the headers.  do you mean the "bugsquad" "todo list"... items toward the top?21:26
ddecatorj1mc: no, the "What is the Bug Squad?" "Contact Us!" "Activities" "Want to Join?"21:27
tyarussoj1mc: It appears that the tools for working with it are still for DocBook 4 in Lucid as well.21:29
j1mcddecator: ok, i think i understand what you're looking to do now. i don't know if we can do it.  matthew east would probably know best.21:30
ddecatorj1mc: ok. i could probably find a way to manually create a table of contents, but then it'd have to be updated each time an area is added or removed. what's matthew east's nick?21:32
j1mctyarusso: yeah - ubuntu docs aren't really set up for docbook5 right now.  docbook5 is in the repositories, though.21:32
j1mcddecator: it is mdke21:32
ddecatorj1mc: thanks!21:32
tyarussoj1mc: ah, so it is.21:34
