[publican-list] Proposed changes to Book_Info.xml

[Jeff Fearn]

One last change for the Info file format. Since the RPM requires a summary field, subtitle will be compulsory since this is the field we will use to populate the summary with.

e.g. From the publican Users Guide:

in Book_Info.xml:

	<title>Users Guide</title>
	<subtitle>Publishing books, articles, papers and multi-volume sets with DocBook XML</subtitle>
	<productname>Publican</productname>
	<productnumber>1.0</productnumber>
	<edition>12</edition>
	<pubsnumber>0</pubsnumber>
	<abstract>
		<para>This book will help you install publican. It also provides instructions for using publican to create and publish DocBook XML-based books, articles and book-sets. This guide assumes you are already familiar with DocBook XML.</para>
	</abstract>
