Subject: toolchain
Hello, I'm going to ask a FAQ on this list, but it seems the answers are changing frequently, too. I'm using DocBook DSSSL toolchain since 2001 and I'm happy with it. However, now I need to prepare several new customization layers and I thought it could be the good time to switch to the XSL toolchain. I would be glad if anyone could share their experience. I'm interested primarily in pdf, but use occasionally rtf and html outputs. I'm considering xsltproc - passivetex and xmlroff (I haven't tried the latter yet). 1. Are there open issues with rendering? In other words, can I do with XSLT everything I do with DSSSL? 2. How much time would I need for learning? I'm doing this in my spare time. I need to customize headers, footers, page numbering, title wording, titlepages. 3. Which toolchain (not only the ones mentioned above) produces the best results and is less likely to break later? I tend to upgrade the packages from time to time, and I wouldn't have much time for fixing after the customization layers are ready. I'll need to regenerate many files at once after a customization layer change, so performance is important. Thanks in advance, Baurjan.
