Does DocBook provide tag for genre of document?

I use DocBook 5.0 for non technical book and I know that some other formats provide tags for genre of book (for example fb2) but I can not find such in DocBook. May be I miss something?

Solution

  • There are no such exact tag in DocBook 5.0 (5.1) itself, but they are (and even much more adopted to non-technical content) in so called DocBook Publishers Schema. For general information follow this link: http://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/publishers/5.0/index.html

    DocBook Publishers Schema allows you to use Dublin Core elements within info tag (i.e. type for genre). See details at: http://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/publishers/5.0/ch02.html
