Support assemblies

[frank-steimke]

It seems that DocBook 5.1 assemblies are not supported yet. If so, are there plans to support in in a future release?
Or did i miss something?

I wrote a short assemby and tried to translate it with the docbook.xsl script in xslTNG Release 1.5.2
Thanks,

It's on my todo list. Practical examples of assemblies would be useful. I don't really feel like there are enough test cases yet.

Actually I would be interested as well. Currently, we are trying to investigate how assemblies can fit in our more topic oriented approach. Our attempt can be seen here:

Maybe it helps to create a use case. 😉

We currently use the XSLT 1.0 stylesheet to create a realized output from the assembly file. It works so far, but links between different files are still hard. Not sure how to do that with assemblies (the TDG doesn't give an example).

Maybe there are better ways on how to create and organize assemblies. A good practice article what is recommended and what is not would be helpful.
