DTD — This Tag Library describes the components for the Book and Book Collection Tag Sets. These Tag Sets are described in an XML DTD. The base DTD modules (delivered as the files book.dtd and collection.dtd) call in all the other DTD fragment modules as external parameter entities. Each module specific to this Tag Set (therefore, not part of the Suite) takes the prefix “bookcustom-” or the prefix “book-”.
Each DTD and DTD fragment module has been assigned a unique formal public identifier (fpi). File names are never referenced directly in the comments in the DTD; the file is referred to by the name of the external parameter entity, which names the fpi and a system name for the file. The external parameter entity has been set to the initial delivery filename.
The Book and Book Collection Tag Sets, the individual DTD-fragment modules of the DTDs and the Suite have been given DOS/Windows 3-digit suffixes indicating their type:
*.dtd |
A module that can be used as the top level of an XML hierarchy. Used for the Book and Book Collection Tag Set top levels, book.dtd and bookcollection.dtd, but also taken unchanged for public tag set modules that have been included in these Tag Sets such as the MathML Tag Set and the XHTML table model. |
*.ent |
A DTD fragment for incorporation into a full DTD. May contain element declarations, entity declarations, etc., for example, articlemeta.ent. |
*.mod |
A DTD fragment for incorporation into a full DTD. May contain element declarations, entity declarations, etc. This extension has the same meaning as *.ent and is only used to maintain the extension names dictated by the inclusion of PUBLIC tag set and/or schema fragments, for example, mathml2-qname-1.mod. |
In version 3.0, for the first time, the module filenames reflect the version number, for example, a module whose name in previous versions was %list.ent; is now named list3.ent. The current plan is that future dot releases (3.1, 3.2, etc.) will not be reflected in the filename (not list3-1.ent, list3-2.ent, etc.) but will remain named with a single digit “3” (list3.ent), which will not change until the next major release, 4.0 will be list4.ent.
While the Tag Set cannot dictate graphic file names, the comments do suggest that best practice for naming graphic files in documents tagged according to this Suite would be to limit the names and path names to these characters: letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, underscore, hyphen, and period. All such names will be assumed to be case sensitive. DOS-style file extensions may be used.
