/ Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer@pasteur.fr> was heard to say:
| Is there a "current best practice" for Web servers (in <bibliography>?
| outside?) and for URLs of books? How can I rewrite the following:
|
| <bookbiblio>
| <title>DocBook: The Definitive Guide</title>
| <author>
| <surname>Walsh</surname>
| <firstname>Norman</firstname>
| </author>
| <author>
| <surname>Muellner</surname>
| <firstname>Leonard</firstname>
| </author>
| <editor>
| <surname>O'Reilly</surname>
| </editor>
| <isbn>1-56592-580-7</isbn>
| <abstract>
| <para>I didn't read it yet...</para>
| </abstract>
| </bookbiblio>
|
| to add http://www.docbook.org/? <ulink> does not seem accepted in a
| <bookbiblio>, except in the <abstract>.
Drop the <bookbiblio> wrapper (just put all the content in the
<biblioentry>) and use <citetitle> instead of <title>. You can put
a <ulink> in a cited title.
This suggestion follows on an observation by Terry Allen that
the titles in a bibliography entry aren't properly "titles" in
the DocBook sense, they don't name the biblioentry, they're
citations of titles of other works and so should properly be
<citetitle>.
Cheers,
norm
