ANNOUNCE Support for XML

[Eric Bischoff <kde@s010.strasbourg-251.cybercable.fr>]

Hi all,

Now it's possible to convert XML DocBook files through Jade with the comfort 
of the DocBook-tools. As usually, everything is available under

	ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/docbook-tools/new-trials

or one of its mirrors.

The supported versions of the DTD include only DocBook 4.1 for the moment.

The conversion is still done through the DSSSL style sheets. Andrey and I are 
currently evaluating the best tools to process through XSL style sheets, with 
the help of Norm.

The docbook-utils detect automatically that the processed file is an XML file 
so the process is fully transparent. In case the automated detection would not
work, you can use a new "--dcl" option to specify the SGML declaration to 
use. This new feature works even if it's not a XML document of course.

The modified packages are:
- sgml-common-0.4:
  now includes the SGML declaration for XML
  the ISO entities have been patched to support the new "euro" character

- docbook-dtd41-xml-1.0:
  the XML DTD for DocBook

- docbook-utils-6.0:
  support for XML
  new --dcl option

Enjoy! ;-)

Any feedback welcome, of course.
