s1kd-newdm --dump-templates
When I use this command with -$ 2.3, the generated models do not contain a version number of S1000D and do not match to 2.3 schema.
The templates for the s1kd-new* tools work a bit strangely right now. The documentation for s1kd-newdm says:
The templates must be written to conform to the default S1000D issue of this tool (currently 5.0). They will be automatically transformed when another issue is specified with the -$ option.
I can see how the wording here might be confusing. The -$ or --issue argument only affects the final output. The templates must always conform to the default S1000D issue, which at this time is the latest issue, 5.0. So even if you're using Issue 2.3, when you customize the s1kd-newdm templates, they must use Issue 5.0 element names. When you create a DM and specify --issue 2.3, internally everything is filled in according to the Issue 5.0 schema, and the final output is transformed to conform to Issue 2.3.
This was mainly done to avoid having to include tons of different templates for every issue of S1000D in the tool and to simplify the code that fills in the templates, by designating one particular issue (the latest) as the template format and transforming the output for all other issues. However, in the future I'd like to at least allow projects to write custom templates with the element names and structure from the issue of S1000D they are actually using.
862b01c updates the wording in the documentation to hopefully make it more clear that the templates must conform to 5.0 regardless of the issue you are using.
