Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Asciidoc -> docbook -> PDF tooling
Hi. Randall: > I currently have a java/maven-based AsciiDoc -> DocBook -> FOP -> PDF > chain within the docbkx-maven-plugin, but would like any suggestions > that appear to be better maintained and are cross platform. We are using DAPS (https://github.com/opensuse/daps). It's essentially using the same chain you are using though: AsciiDoctor, DocBook XSL, FOP. It's also not exactly cross-platform, it's quite explicitly Linux-only. (We use Docker containers to help with cross-platformness though.)

In our case, certain fonts and font weights create issues for us, as do a few other layouting quirks around monospace and such. -- Stefan Knorr, technical writer SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH: MaxfeldstraÃe 5 / 90409 NÃrnberg/ Germany.
