Norman Walsh talks DocBook
Why was Norman Walsh, DobBook guru and chair of the OASIS DocBook Technical Committee, a speaker at the 2006 DITA conference? It was an interesting meeting of the minds, actually. Walsh did some DocBook feature comparison to DITA, noting that different types of content have different structural needs. Rather than adopt an “DocBook versus DITA” stance, Walsh encouraged the two groups to take a collaborative stance. Sometimes the technicalities went over my head, but later, Walsh spent a couple of minutes clarifying DocBook for me. – 1.8 MB
