Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: DocBook and TeX/LaTeX
/ Michael Wiedmann <mw@miwie.in-berlin.de> was heard to say: | * Ian Castle <ian.castle@coldcomfortfarm.net> [020224 11:46]: | |> PassiveTeX takes this approach |> |> see http://www.hcu.ox.ac.uk/TEI/Software/passivetex/ | | passivetex works on FO files, whereas using xmltex with a special | DocBook map file would create native LaTeX code and let (pdf)latex | typeset the document - a task which TeX solves really excellent. My experience suggests that the mapping from DocBook to TeX is, uh, non-trivial. I think PassiveTeX is a much more logical solution...although I suppose you could argue that there would be advantages to a really good mapping to LaTeX for journals that have existing LaTeX styles. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | The last act is bloody, however http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | fine the rest of the play. They Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | throw earth over your head and it | is finished for ever.--Pascal
