@part command and docbook

[Aharon Robbins]

Hi.

The @part command is somewhat mismatched with how docbook works. In
particular, parts include chapters, so for correct generation of the
docbook tags, we should really have

        @part <label>
        @parttitle Title Of The Part Here

        @chapter ...
        @chapter ...

        @end part

The <label> would go into the docbook opening <part> tag:

        <part label="LABEL">
        <title>Title ... </title>

Typically the labels are capital roman numerals: I, II, III etc.

Perhaps a better alternative would be

        @partnode <label>
        @part Title Here
        ....
        @end part

I know it's a little weird. I'm trying to figure out how to work around
the inherent impedance mismatch between the two markup languages in
as least-intrusive a way as possible...

So. There's the problem statement. Thoughts on how to deal with it
would be welcome.
