Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: DocBook and TeX/LaTeX
Hi, just coming back from the DANTE (German TeX Users Group) 2002 Meeting I have IMO some interesting news: - an approach to map DocBook XML elements to LaTeX code might be "xmltex" from David Carlisle dating back to 02/2000. The infrastructure to map *any* XML element/attribute names to TeX/LaTeX code is already setup and all what has to be done is to create a map file. I don't know whether any work has already been done to create such a map file and will look/search for more information. "xmltex" should should be available for any up-to-date TeX installation. o http://www.dcarlisle.demon.co.uk/xmltex/ o ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/xmltex/base/manual.html - there is ongoing work in the "ConTeXt" community to create a similar solution like "xmltex" for "ConTeXt". Very recent beta versions of "ConTeXt" are able to read and parse any XML document and map XML element names to ConText code. Hans Hagen, the creator of ConTeXt, is sure to have a working solution for DocBook/ConTeXt in the very near future. I will contact Simon Pepping from the Dutch TeX Users Group, who is more or less coordinating this work to get more information. o http://www.ntg.nl/context Michael -- mw@miwie.in-berlin.de http://www.miwie.org mw@miwie.org
