docbook-slides for Debian
-----------------------------

The DTD defines a number of document types for producing presentation slides
using various subsets of Simplified DocBook and/or full DocBook XML.

There are three possible prologs to use in your slides documents, which are
described below.


I. Simplified DocBook-based Document Types
------------------------------------------

A. If you've no need to customize the DTD, use the "flattened" DTD:

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <!DOCTYPE slides PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Slides V3.3.1//EN"
   "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/slides/current/schema/dtd/slides.dtd">


B. If you'd like to customize the DTD based on Simplified DocBook, use the
   slides-custom.dtd:

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <!DOCTYPE slides PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Slides Custom V3.3.1//EN"
     "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/slides/current/schema/dtd/slides-custom.dtd">


II. Full DocBook-based Document Type
------------------------------------

A. If you'd like to customize (or simply use) the slides document type based on
   the full DocBook XML DTD (~380 elements), use the slides-full.dtd:

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <!DOCTYPE slides PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Slides Full V3.3.1//EN"
       "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/slides/current/schema/dtd/slides-full.dtd">


The stylesheets require the use of an xslt processor, such as xsltproc.
