Folks, This list has 25 members now. But I strongly believe that there are many more users of RELAX NG. Please mention this mailing list to your colleagues...
I just sent out announcements to the xml-doc and docbook-apps mailing lists. That should bring in a few more subscribers. I know there are a number of people...
... And I sent it to TEI-L (email list of the Text Encoding Initiative, whose markup standard is being revised from a DTD-based to a Relax NG-based language.) ...

Cheers. I do realise that this is not the purpose of Relax and I wouldn't be surprised if nobody else could suggest a solution. I guess that I'd better workf...
... My experience is that it supports both DTD's and rng. Just that once it gets complex, it breaks too much to be of use. Pity, could be a really useful tool ...
Several commercial XML editors do this. I don't know them all but our own XMLBuddy Pro Eclipse plug-in will generate instances from RELAX NG schemas (either...
Hi Bob, Thanks for mentioning oXygen, but there are a few things in oXygen wrt Relax NG support that are missing compared with the support we have for DTD...

... My student started working on this. Code should be finished during autumn if everything goes well. I did quite extensive research few months ago and I...
Oh. Well then I know of one editor that does it. ;-} What format would you (and anyone else who's interested) like to see the documentation in? Bob Foster ...

The Text Encoding Initiative schemas are maintained using a module of the TEI called "tagdocs", which allows for describing elements, attributes, classes of...
Thanks Sebastian and everybody else that responded to this. What I mean is not a meta language, but the possibility to generate the documentation directly from...
... Look to rng itself, and what's available. We could all do it, if the schema is 'special' to our way of working. What can you do that is within the rng rec...
... I think we're drifting away from the original question here. DocBook NG contains additional markup designed to make it possible to generate documentation...
Hi Dave, ... Sorry but I cannot follow you. Can you please expand a little? My question is if we should focus on patterns only or not. A schema is formed from...
... At some point your output, if XML will begin to look like the rng schema, perhaps with a variant syntax. If you constrained the schema author in some way,...
... hard bit. Right. That's why I was hoping some user would point to an existing example of documentation produced for DTDs or XML Schema and say, do it like...

Hi Dave, A schema documentation tool should present schema information and use the annotations to show additional developer to user information. The main idea...
Thanks. And (aside from the ugly but maybe useful first page) wow. This has the look of something produced automatically. Do you happen to have a link to the...
All the examples so far, including this one, are of documentation aimed at XML authors. Here's an entirely different take, aimed at schema authors (?): ...
Thanks, Dave. Now we're getting down to it. So far we've identified three kinds of documentation that can be automatically generated from a schema and have...
... In WXS, the combination of a child element's name and its parent's type determines the child's type uniquely. In RNG there are no guarantees. -- John...
For XML Schema the context is in general the path up to the root, as the root must be either a typed element or a global element or the path up to the first...
