Hi, You could try putting the revhistory inside some other element that also contains the general info. I think revhistory has several possible parents. Then customize the revhistory template to check its parent, maybe using a role attribute on the parent.

I am using DocBook 4.5. I would like to be able to include content inside <revhistory> that is not specific to any one revision. (We want to provide some general information about how to read the revision history.) I would prefer to work strictly within the DocBook 4.5 content model and not add custom elements. However, the DocBook 4.5 content model does not allow for anything inside <revhistory> other than <revision> elements. Does anyone see a semantically appropriate way to do what I want without extending the content model? ************************* Rob Cavicchio Principal Technical Writer & Information Architect EMC Captiva Information Intelligence Group EMC Corporation 3721 Valley Centre Drive, Ste 200 San Diego, CA 92130 P: (858) 320-1208 F: (858) 320-1010 E: rob.cavicc...@emc.com The opinions expressed here are my personal opinions.
