Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Making the jump to XML
It seems my fears were well founding: Now that my publisher (Pearson) has seen the light and wholeheartedly endorses our use of DocBook for end-to-end publishing, it seems their tools will be XML while ours (kernelbook) are SGML. Looks like it is finally time to convert. Now I have a problem: All the refs say the transition is easy except for CDATA sections, but no one says what to use as an alternative to the CDATA. Since our book has a lot of programlistings, we need a better solution than escaping invalid sections by hand. So ... how do I break my CDATA habit? Methadrine? Apomorphine?
