Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: docbook xml - paper based outputs?
I am a new convert to Docbook, having discovered it doing a vague Google search for xml single source documentation. I run the technical documentation department for a new software company (in fact, it's just me!). My Holy Grail is a single-source documentation system, but it has to be Windoze based... It must output to: HTML (I will then add a css stylesheet to add Company design elements to it), and PDF. So far I have been able to hack my Docbook XML code in my text editor. Load the xml file into XMLSpy which validates it for me. I can then select an XSL template from within XMLspy and voila, there's my output. This works beautifully for HTML and I have been able to produce an FO file too. I have a few probs though: Is there an XSL template for RTF output? My XMLSpy freebie month is about to run out and I need to try out the alternatives before I buy it - what does the list suggest? I don't want to output to FO directly because I will need to do some Company colourscheme adjustments before I print... My instinct with PDF is to output to RTF, clean it up, add page breaks, add a nice cover page etc in Word (I can hear the sharp intake of breath!) and then print to the Acrobat Distiller. Any comments or ideas that can help? Nico
