Extends DocBook v3.0, with (currently) the following additions.
1. <hostid>, <username>, <devicename>, <makevar>, and <maketarget> have
been added. Sample uses would be be.
<para>By convention, the the local machine can always be referred
to as <hostid>localhost</hostid>, with the IP address
<hostid role="ipaddr">127.0.0.1</hostid>.</para>
<para>The most powerful account on the system is
<username>root</username>, able to leap tall buildings in a single
bound.</para>
<para>Some devices have an entry in <filename>/dev</filename>. For
example, <filename>/dev/cuaa0</filename> corresponds to
<devicename>sio0</devicename>. Other devices, such as
<devicename>ed0</devicename> do not have entries in
<filename>/dev</filename>.
<para>To rebuild the system, use the <maketarget>world</maketarget>
target. If you do not want to build profiled libraries then ensure
that <makevar>NOPROFILE</makevar> is set.</para>
2. <FAQList> has been added as a new list type, with its own listitem.
Use like so;
<FAQList>
<FAQListItem>
<FAQQuestion>
<para>I have bad blocks on my hard drive!</para>
<!-- Nothing restricting a question to one paragraph -->
</FAQQuestion>
<FAQAnswer>
<para>With SCSI drives, the drive should be capable…</para>
<para>…</para>
</FAQAnswer>
</FAQListItem>
</FAQList>
Long winded, but comprehensive, and in keeping with the rest of DocBook.
As I convert the handbook from LinuxDoc to DocBook I'm working on an
extensive markup guide for the project, where constructs like these will be
fully documented.
