Subject: Using PassiveTex as a FO processor - windows
I have just begun playing wizard apprentice with docbook: when it come to PDF rendering, I first tried the simplest way - FOP -, but I am quite unsatisfied with the output quality: I need to use nested ordered lists with inherited numbering, and at 3rd, 4th level the result is terrible, as the text overlaps with the numbers. I then tried with some commercial SW demo, with better results. Later, googling, I found an article from "Using PassiveTeX with docbook" Bob Stayton, and I wanted to follow his step-by-step guide. Unfortunately I stopped early, as a "XML Typesetting" scheme does not exist with TexLive 2005. I tried and install PassiveTex manually, but it seems not to work. Before getting into details about the errors I got, I am just wondering if you could suggest me the correct way to install a Tex system supporting PassiveTex from scratch, using TexLive 2005 on a WinXP platform, or address me to an updated howto. Later on, maybe I'll like to get deeper into Tex, but, up to now, I would be satisfied in being able to get a PDF file from my XML file better than the one produced by FOP and cheaper than the ones produced by commercial processors. Thanks, Luciano
