6 This DTD was designed around XML 1.0.
8 This gamebook DTD is aimed primarily at the books under development by
9 Project Aon (http://www.projectaon.org/). Future versions may be of
16 19 December 2006 (version 0.12.2)
17 * Added the "line" element to the inline elements list.
19 19 December 2006 (version 0.12.1)
20 * Upgraded the table model to included "caption", "colgroup", "thead",
21 "tfoot", and "tbdoy" elements and the cell scoping attributes
22 "rowspan", "colspan", "axis", and "scope".
23 * Deprecated the "br" element in favor of the "line" element.
25 25 March 2006 (version 0.12.0)
26 * Added "illref", "illustrations" and "illgroup". Still backwards
29 26 December 2005 (version 0.11.4)
30 * Added link.attributes and the optional "series" attribute to
31 "bookref", and fleshed out the "bookref" and "footref"
34 5 December 2005 (version 0.11.3)
35 * Corrected ATTLISTs of character elements
36 * Added "ch.apos", "ch.frac116", and "ch.plus" elements
38 9 April 2005 (version 0.11.2)
39 * Added the following inline elements: "bookref", "footref".
40 * Added the character elements to replace the use of character
41 entities (except in attributes). These allow a processor (e.g.
42 a XSL transformation) to decide how characters should be
43 represented, not this DTD.
45 18 April 2003 (version 0.11.1)
46 * Added the following inline elements: "onomatopoeia", "spell",
49 27 January 2003 (version 0.11.0)
50 * Moved the optional "footnotes" element between the "meta" and
53 10 January 2003 (version 0.10.4)
54 * Removed the "inline.content" entity from the declaration of the
55 contents of the "blockquote" element. This will break some existing
58 7 January 2003 (version 0.10.3)
59 * Made the "src", "width", and "height" attributes of the "instance"
62 4 January 2003 (version 0.10.2)
63 * Moved the specialized character entity definitions into module
66 5 October 2002 (version 0.10.1)
67 * Added the "lellips" and "minus" entities and changed the definition
68 of the "emdash" entity.
70 5 September 2002 (version 0.10.0)
71 * Added the "quote" element.
73 31 August 2002 (version 0.9.1)
74 * Added the "xml:lang" attribute to the "core.attributes" entity.
75 Although this could be used for most elements, it is primarily
76 aimed at the "foreign" element.
78 6 July 2002 (version 0.9)
79 * Replaced the "caption" element and the "illustrator" attribute with
80 the use of the "meta" element.
81 * Renamed the "illustration-instance" element to simply "instance".
82 * Removed the "character-attribute" element.
83 * Added the "typ" element for typographical markup.
84 * Removed the "shortname" attribute.
86 1 June 2002 (version 0.8.3)
87 * Removed the "marker" attribute from the "footnote" element.
89 29 April 2002 (vesion 0.8.2)

106 11 May 2001 (version 0.6.0)
107 * Removed the "publication-date" element.
109 5 May 2001 (version 0.5.0)
110 * Added facilities for transformation to LaTeX - mainly appropriate
112 * Added the "marker" attribute to the "footnote" element.
114 1 May 2001 (version 0.4.0)
116 * Added the "link" element to the set of allowable "meta" elements.
117 Although not a Dublin Core meta-data element, it's functionality
118 adds a lot to the document.
120 30 April 2001 (version 0.3.0)
122 * Changed the basic orgranization of the sections by allowing them to
123 have their own meta section instead of a "section-title" element.
124 * Changed the name of the "section-data" element to simply "data".
126 17 April 2001 (version 0.2.0)

211 <!ELEMENT gamebook ( meta, section+ )>
213 version CDATA #REQUIRED
214 xml:lang CDATA #IMPLIED
218 The "version" attribute represents the revision number of the gamebook
219 DTD. This allows gamebook processors to make decisions about the
220 suitability of the data.
222 The "xml:lang" attribute specifies the primary language of the
223 document. The data should conform to the IETF RFC1766.
225 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1766.txt
229 <gamebook version="0.12" xml:lang="en-UK">
230 <meta . . .> . . . </meta>

239 <!-- :::::::::::::::::::::::: meta Element ::::::::::::::::::::::: -->
242 The children of the meta element are designed to directly translate to
243 the Dublin Core Element Set v1.1. For a description of each Dublin
244 Core element, visit the following URL:
246 (http://dublincore.org/documents/1999/07/02/dces/)
248 Although many Dublin Core elements will probably never have any real
249 relevance to gamebooks, all are included for completeness's sake.
251 [editor: add dc: namespace to isolate dublin core elements
252 http://dublincore.org/documents/2001/10/26/dcmi-namespace/ ]
254 Note: The "link" element doesn't correspond directly to any Dublin
255 Core element. It has been added here for required functionality.
258 <!ELEMENT meta ( title | creator | subject | description | publisher | contributor | date | type | format | identifier | source | language | relation | coverage | rights | link)*>
261 The "meta" element represents underlying information about the
262 document. It should contain any number of the Dublin Core 1.1
268 <title . . .> . . . </title>
269 <creator . . .> . . . </creator>
275 <!ELEMENT title ( %inline.content; )*>

300 <!ELEMENT contributor ( %inline.content; | %block.content; )*>
301 <!ATTLIST contributor
305 <!ELEMENT date ( year, month, day )>
311 The "date" element has been extended beyond the specification made in
312 the Dublin Core. It should contain "year", "month" and "day" elements.
317 <year . . .> . . . </year>
318 <month . . .> . . . </month>
319 <day . . .> . . . </day>
324 <!ELEMENT year ( #PCDATA )>
327 The year should be specified in full digit numeric format.
335 <!ELEMENT month ( #PCDATA )>
338 The month should be specified in numeric format with January as "1",
339 February as "2", etc.
347 <!ELEMENT day ( #PCDATA )>
350 The "day" element specifies the day of the month in numeric format.

393 <!ELEMENT rights ( %inline.content; | %block.content; )*>
398 <!ELEMENT link EMPTY>
402 idrefs IDREFS #IMPLIED>
405 The "link" element has been added to the Dublin Core elements to
406 represent relationships to other parts of the document. The "idrefs"
407 attribute has been added to allow relationships that are held with
408 more than one part of the document.
412 <link class="next" idref="dedicate" />
414 <link class="friends" idrefs="dedicate cmbtrulz" />
418 <!-- ::::::::::::::::::::: section Element ::::::::::::::::::::::: -->
420 <!ELEMENT section ( meta, footnotes?, illustrations?, data )>
427 The "section" element represents one hierarchical level of data.
428 Section elements can be nested (inside the "data" element) in
429 order to create more complex data representations.
431 A "section" element can used as a linking element. The most useful way
432 to utilize this is to make it a named anchor and thus the target of a
438 <meta><title . . .> . . . </title></meta>
439 <data . . .> . . . </data>
440 <footnotes . . .> . . . </footnotes>
444 <meta><title . . .> . . . </title></meta>
447 <section id="dedication">
448 <meta><title . . .> . . . </title></meta>
449 <data . . .> . . . </data>
457 <!ELEMENT data ( %block.content; | section )*>
463 The "data" element contains the main data contained within
464 a section. Note that a nested section structure can be created by
465 including a "section" element within the content of the "data"
472 <combat . . .> . . . </combat>
477 <section . . .> . . . </section>
482 <!ELEMENT illustrations ( illustration | illgroup )*>
483 <!ATTLIST illustrations
488 The "illustrations" element represents a collection of illustrations.
489 The illustrations, or illustration groups, should be listed in the
490 order they appear in the book.
495 <illustration . . . />
496 <illgroup . . .>. . .</illgroup>
502 <!ELEMENT illgroup ( illustration )*>
510 The "illgroup" element represents a group of illustrations contained
511 within one section. It is used when individual links to the each
512 illustration from the illustrations index are not wanted.
516 <illgroup idref=". . .">
517 <illustration . . . />
518 <illustration . . . />
522 <illgroup idref=". . ." class="hidden">
523 <illustration . . . />
524 <illustration . . . />
530 <!ELEMENT footnotes ( footnote )*>
536 The "footnotes" element represents the collection of extra-textual
537 information contained within "footnote" elements.
542 <footnote . . .> . . . </footnote>
543 <footnote . . .> . . . </footnote>
549 <!ELEMENT footnote ( %block.content; )*>
556 The "footnote" element contains extra-textual information. It can be
557 used as a linking element and can thus be used to refer back to a
558 named anchor within the document.
563 <p . . .>This paragraph requires an appropriate footnote
564 <a id="reference" idref="footnote-reference" . . ./>.
569 <footnote id="footnote-reference" idref="reference">

661 <dt . . .> . . . Third Term with No Definition . . . </dt>
666 <!ELEMENT dt ( %inline.content; )*>
672 The "dt" element represents a definition term within a definition
673 list. It should be immediately followed by its definitions contained
674 within "dd" elements.
680 <dt>Definition Term</dt>
681 <dd . . .> . . . Definition . . . </dd>
687 <!ELEMENT dd ( %inline.content; | %block.content; )*>
693 The "dd" element contains a definition.

730 The "caption" element contains a brief description of the data
731 contained in the table and the structure of the table.
736 <caption>Random Number Table</caption>
742 <!ELEMENT colgroup EMPTY>
748 The "colgroup" element explicitly groups several columns of tabular data
749 together. The "span" attribute specifies the number of columns to be
750 grouped. This is primarily useful for non-visual user agents.
757 <colgroup span="13"/>
763 <!ELEMENT thead ( tr+ )>
769 The "thead" element contains rows of data designated as the table
770 header. It creates a rowgroup for the purposes of the "scope"
771 attribute in the "th" and "td" elements.
778 <tr . . .> . . . </tr>
786 <!ELEMENT tfoot ( tr+ )>
792 The "tfoot" element contains rows of data designated as the table
793 footer. It creates a rowgroup for the purposes of the "scope"
794 attribute in the "th" and "td" elements.
801 <tr . . .> . . . </tr>
809 <!ELEMENT tbody ( tr+ )>
815 The "tbody" element contains rows of data designated as the part
816 of the main table data. More than one "tbody" element is allowed per
817 "table" element. It creates a rowgroup for the purposes of the "scope"
818 attribute in the "th" and "td" elements.
825 <tr . . .> . . . </tr>
833 <!ELEMENT tr ( th | td )*>
839 The "tr" element contains a collection of "th" and "td" elements that
840 represent one row of a "table".
847 <th . . .> . . . </th>
848 <td . . .> . . . </td>
856 <!ELEMENT th ( %inline.content; )*>
859 %cell.align.attributes;
860 %cell.scope.attributes;
864 The "th" contains a table header used to label a particular row or
865 column of tabular data.
867 The "scope" attribute specifies to what extent the data of this header
868 applies. The "axis" attribute is a comma-separated list of categories
869 to which the element belongs.
876 <td . . .> . . . </td>
877 <td . . .> . . . </td>
883 <!ELEMENT td ( %inline.content; )*>
886 %cell.align.attributes;
887 %cell.scope.attributes;
891 The "td" element contains one cell of tabular data.
893 The "scope" attribute may be used in conjunction with a "td" element to
894 specify that though its data isn't considered header data, it functions
895 as a label for the data. For example, a character's name is a label for a row
896 of the character's statistics, but it is not a header.
908 <!-- :::::::::::::::::::::: Miscellaneous :::::::::::::::::::::::: -->
910 <!ELEMENT p ( %inline.content; )*>
916 The "p" element contains a paragraph.
920 <p>This is a (short) paragraph.</p>

998 <!ELEMENT choice ( %inline.content; | link-text )*>
1005 The "choice" element contains the text describing a choice presented
1006 within a section. It's a linking element and therefore can link to
1007 the place to which the choice leads.
1009 The choice element can contain "link-text" elements which suggest text
1010 that should be used by the user agent to represent the hyperlink.
1014 <section id="section12" . . .> . . . </section>
1016 <choice idref="section12">If you would like to fight the 12-foot Giak,

1068 height CDATA #IMPLIED
1069 mime-type CDATA #IMPLIED
1073 The "instance" element describes one instance of an illustration.
1075 The "src" attribute is a URL for the data file for the illustration.
1077 The "width" and "height" attributes contain the dimensions of the
1080 The "mime-type" attribute can contain an appropriate label for the
1081 format of the illustration file (e.g. "image/png" or "image/jpeg").
1083 The "instance" element can contain block or inline content that
1084 is intended to replace graphical illustrations.
1088 <illustration . . .>
1090 <instance src="17.gif" width="386" height="532" type="image/gif" />
1091 <instance src="" width="" height="" type="text" >
1099 <!ELEMENT illref EMPTY>
1107 The "illref" element is used to mark the location of an illustration.
1108 The actual illustration is declared elsewhere.
1110 Since the placement of a particular illustration may depend on the
1111 output format, one "illref" is required for each format.
1115 <illref idref="ill2" class="html"/>
1116 <illref idref="ill2" class="pdf"/>
1120 <!ELEMENT signpost ( %inline.content; | %block.content; )*>
1126 The "signpost" element contains the text of a sign or message that
1127 should be presented offset from surrounding text.
1131 <signpost>RENDALIM'S LABORATORY</signpost>
1141 The "hr" element designates a horizontal rule. Since this is a
1142 presentational tag, it should be used sparingly in cases where new
1143 logical divisions of the text begin which aren't given a unique
1152 <!-- ============================================================= -->
1153 <!-- Inline Elements -->
1154 <!-- ============================================================= -->
1156 <!ELEMENT a ( %inline.content; )*>
1164 The "a" element is used to contain inline content that should be a
1165 hypertext anchor. The "a" element should not contain another linking
1166 element (e.g. "a", "bookref", "footref").
1168 The "href" attribute is added to allow a reference outside of the
1175 <a idref="section12" id="foo">Section 12</a>
1181 <!ELEMENT bookref ( %inline.content; )*>
1185 series CDATA #IMPLIED
1186 book CDATA #REQUIRED
1187 section CDATA #IMPLIED
1191 The "bookref" element is used to contain inline content that should be a
1192 hypertext anchor to another book.
1194 The "series" attribute is a tag that denotes the series of the book that
