It is up to an external processing tool or application to decide where on a page the abstract should go and what it should look like or whether or not it should be included in the final output at all. </p><p>DocBook provides a vast number of semantic element tags. They are divided into three broad categories, namely structural, block-level, and inline. </p><p><i>Structural</i> tags specify broad characteristics of their contents. The <code>book</code> element, for example, specifies that its child elements represent the parts of a book. This includes a title, chapters, glossaries, appendices, and so on. DocBook's structural tags include, but are not limited to: </p> <ul><li><i><code>set</code>:</i> Titled collection of one or more <code>book</code>s or <code>article</code>s, can be nested with other sets</li> <li><i><code>book</code>:</i> Titled collection of <code>chapter</code>s, <code>article</code>s, and/or <code>part</code>s, with optional glossaries, appendices, etc.</li> <li><i><code>part</code>:</i> Titled collection of one or more <code>chapter</code>s—can be nested with other parts, and may have special introductory text</li> <li><i><code>article</code>:</i> Titled, unnumbered collection of block-level elements</li> <li><i><code>chapter</code>:</i> Titled, numbered collection of block-level elements—chapters don't require explicit numbers, a chapter number is the number of previous chapter elements in the XML document plus 1</li> <li><i><code>appendix</code>:</i> Contains text that represents an <a href="/wiki/Addendum" title="Addendum">appendix</a></li> <li><i><code>dedication</code>:</i> Text represents the dedication of the contained structural element</li></ul> <p>Structural elements can contain other structural elements. Structural elements are the only permitted top-level elements in a DocBook document. </p><p><i>Block-level</i> tags are elements like paragraph, lists, etc. Not all these elements can directly contain text. Sequential block-level elements render one "after" another. After, in this case, can differ depending on the language. In most Western languages, "after" means below: text paragraphs are printed down the page. Other languages' <a href="/wiki/Writing_system#Directionality" title="Writing system">writing systems can have different directionality</a>; for example, in Japanese, paragraphs are often printed in downward columns, with the columns running from right to left, so "after" in that case would be to the left. DocBook semantics are entirely neutral to these kinds of language-based concepts. </p><p><i>Inline-level</i> tags are elements like emphasis, hyperlinks, etc. They wrap text within a block-level element. These elements do not cause the text to break when rendered in a paragraph format, but typically they cause the document processor to apply some kind of distinct typographical treatment to the enclosed text, by changing the font, size, or similar attributes. (The DocBook specification <i>does</i> say that it expects different typographical treatment, but it does not offer specific requirements as to what this treatment may be.) That is, a DocBook processor doesn't have to transform an <code>emphasis</code> tag into <i>italics</i>. A reader-based DocBook processor could increase the size of the words, or, a text-based processor could use bold instead of italics. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sample_document">Sample document</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=DocBook&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Sample document"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-xml mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="w"> </span><span class="cp"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?></span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"><book</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="na">xml:id=</span><span class="s">"simple_book"</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="na">xmlns=</span><span class="s">"http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="na">version=</span><span class="s">"5.0"</span><span class="nt">></span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"><title></span>Very<span class="w"> </span>simple<span class="w"> </span>book<span class="nt"></title></span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"><chapter</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="na">xml:id=</span><span class="s">"chapter_1"</span><span class="nt">></span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"><title></span>Chapter<span class="w"> </span>1<span class="nt"></title></span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"><para></span>Hello<span class="w"> </span>world!<span class="nt"></para></span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"><para></span>I<span class="w"> </span>hope<span class="w"> </span>that<span class="w"> </span>your<span class="w"> </span>day<span class="w"> </span>is<span class="w"> </span>proceeding<span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"><emphasis></span>splendidly<span class="nt"></emphasis></span>!<span class="nt"></para></span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"></chapter></span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"><chapter</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="na">xml:id=</span><span class="s">"chapter_2"</span><span class="nt">></span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"><title></span>Chapter<span class="w"> </span>2<span class="nt"></title></span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"><para></span>Hello<span class="w"> </span>again,<span class="w"> </span>world!<span class="nt"></para></span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"></chapter></span> <span class="w"> </span><span class="nt"></book></span> </pre></div> <p>Semantically, this document is a "book", with a "title", that contains two "chapters" each with their own "titles".

(Starting with version 4 of the SGML DTD, the XML DTD continued with this version numbering scheme.) Initially, a key group of software companies used DocBook since their representatives were involved in its initial design. Eventually, however, DocBook was adopted by the open source community where it has become a standard for creating documentation for many projects, including <a href="/wiki/FreeBSD" title="FreeBSD">FreeBSD</a>, <a href="/wiki/KDE" title="KDE">KDE</a>, <a href="/wiki/GNOME" title="GNOME">GNOME</a> desktop documentation, the <a href="/wiki/GTK%2B" class="mw-redirect" title="GTK+">GTK+</a> <a href="/wiki/Application_programming_interface" class="mw-redirect" title="Application programming interface">API</a> references, the <a href="/wiki/Linux_kernel" title="Linux kernel">Linux kernel</a> documentation (which, as of July 2016, is transitioning to <a href="/wiki/Sphinx_(documentation_generator)" title="Sphinx (documentation generator)">Sphinx</a>/<a href="/wiki/ReStructuredText" title="ReStructuredText">reStructuredText</a><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>), and the work of the <a href="/wiki/Linux_Documentation_Project" title="Linux Documentation Project">Linux Documentation Project</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pre_DocBook_v5.0">Pre DocBook v5.0</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=DocBook&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Pre DocBook v5.0"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Until DocBook 5, DocBook was defined normatively by a Document Type Definition (DTD). Because DocBook was built originally as an application of <a href="/wiki/SGML" class="mw-redirect" title="SGML">SGML</a>, the DTD was the only available schema language. DocBook 4.x formats can be SGML or XML, but the XML version does not have its own namespace. </p><p>DocBook 4.x formats had to live within the restrictions of being defined by a DTD. The most significant restriction was that an element name uniquely defines its possible contents. That is, an element named <code>info</code> must contain the same information no matter where it is in the DocBook file. As such, there are many kinds of info elements in DocBook 4.x: <code>bookinfo</code>, <code>chapterinfo</code>, etc. Each has a slightly different content model, but they do share some of their content model. Additionally, they repeat context information. The book's <code>info</code> element is that, because it is a direct child of the book; it does not need to be named specially for a human reader. However, because the format was defined by a DTD, it did have to be named as such. The root element does not have or need a <i>version</i>, as the version is built into the DTD declaration at the top of a pre-DocBook 5 document. </p><p>DocBook 4.x documents are not compatible with DocBook 5, but can be converted into DocBook 5 documents via an XSLT stylesheet. One (<code>db4-upgrade.xsl</code>) is provided as part of the distribution of the DocBook 5 schema and specification package.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Output_formats">Output formats</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=DocBook&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Output formats"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>DocBook files are used to prepare output files in a wide variety of formats.

These stylesheets can be sophisticated enough to generate tables of contents, glossaries, and indexes. They can oversee the selection of particular designated portions of a master document to produce different versions of the same document (such as a "tutorial" or a "quick-reference guide", where each of these consist of a subset of the material). Users can write their own customized stylesheets or even a full-fledged program to process the DocBook into an appropriate output format as their needs dictate. </p><p>Norman Walsh and the DocBook Project development team maintain the key application for producing output from DocBook source documents: A set of <a href="/wiki/XSLT" title="XSLT">XSLT</a> stylesheets (as well as a legacy set of <a href="/wiki/DSSSL" class="mw-redirect" title="DSSSL">DSSSL</a> stylesheets) that can generate high-quality <a href="/wiki/HTML" title="HTML">HTML</a> and print (<a href="/wiki/XSL_Formatting_Objects" title="XSL Formatting Objects">FO</a>/<a href="/wiki/Portable_Document_Format" class="mw-redirect" title="Portable Document Format">PDF</a>) output, as well as output in other formats, including <a href="/wiki/Rich_Text_Format" title="Rich Text Format">RTF</a>, <a href="/wiki/Man_page" title="Man page">man pages</a> and HTML Help. </p><p>Web help<sup id="cite_ref-webhelp-1.76.1_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-webhelp-1.76.1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> is a chunked HTML output format in the <a href="/wiki/DocBook_XSL" title="DocBook XSL">DocBook XSL</a> stylesheets that was introduced in version 1.76.1.
