Enable Visual Studio Intellisense for DocBook
Sunday, January 24, 2010 at 11:36AM You can easily plug in XML Schemas to enable Intellisense for certain XML namespaces and file extensions. DocBook includes all of the necessary schemas, so all that's required is a schema catalog.
To make it a little easier, I put together a ZIP file that contains everything you need.
Just unzip it to one of the following locations, depending on your version of Visual Studio:
- Visual Studio 2005
C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 8\Xml\Schemas - Visual Studio 2008
C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 9.0\Xml\Schemas - Visual Studio 2010
C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 10.0\Xml\Schemas
DocBook Intellisense will be enabled for files with the docbook extension. If your solution contains DocBook files, you can simply right-click and choose “Open With…” then select “XML Editor”.
Enjoy!

Uuh...
That's... fast!
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome! Apologies for not updating it for 5.0 sooner. I haven't used DocBook in a while, so I wasn't aware that I new version had been released.
Well, in fact I have to apologise; after having a closer look at it, it became pretty clear that I could have done it easily by myself. Sorry I let others do the dirty work.
And therefore thanks again!
