docbook: Thread: Re: revision history in DocBook 's

FYI...

This has been implemented in ldp.dsl. The <revhistory> is now
displayed for those documents with a top-level container
element of <book>

See  (republished) - http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO/

Ferg,

Just a minor note... we might not have the absolute latest copy of
this doc... I went to the author's site (looking for the SGML code)
and noticed that the version he has at his site:

  http://gear.torque.net/scsi/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO/

has a notice about it being licensed under the GFDL.  On the 
introduction page it indicates that it was build on March 29th.

Dan

AFAIK that's the one we are using, unless he did some minor
tweaks to it. I published it on Monday or Tuesday. Yes, it now
is under the GFDL - http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO/ln27.html

Ahhh... the issue must be that whatever stylesheet the author is using
puts the <legalnotice> on the intro page, while the one your are using
puts it on a separate page.  Understood.

from ldp.dsl -

   (define %generate-legalnotice-link%
    ;; put the legal notice in a separate file
    #t)

for those keeping score at home ;-)
