Subject: xlstproc questions (was: CSS begging)
Johann (and Dave and Fabrice), thank you! I am now able to demo "and this is what it looks like, styled" -- which is very useful. I will put my slides on Slideshare early next week. I told myself that would be my last question before Wednesday's talk but the mention of xsltproc raised questions about its use as well. (I am using both free tools such as xsltproc and xmlmind side-by-side with oXygen so I can demonstrate some choice in tool selection. Most but not all people at this demo will be working in Windows and like me, will start with free tools.) For Windows users, is it common usage to create a batch file for xsltproc that substitutes as a kind of Makefile to document processes? Also, I had trouble with DOS path names in my xsltproc commands and the Windows (really, DOS...) guidance for xsltproc I found on the web seemed vague. This: C:\XMLTOOLS>xsltproc --stringparam base.dir c:\XMLTOOLS\test7- --stringparam html.stylesheet boetest.css c:\xmltools\docbook-xsl\xhtml\chunk.xsl h:\docsrepo\TechRef\JSONGrammar.xml produced a strange long filename... if I left off the path that didn't happen. If I changed the path, say, to h:\test\results\test8- the file stayed in teh directory with another strange long filename, like the other, concatenated from the path.Obviously, there's a right way to express the path and that isn't it. Finally, if anyone has really precise instructions for permanently setting the path for xsltproc, that would be great. Most directions on the Web are vague (try googling: your computer's environment variable xsltproc) and I had to ask a couple of friends who like me hadn't done anything like this in, oh... a decade. -- -- | Karen G.
