Antenna House is sort of expensive. Fop and the > java setup could produce problems if the docbook is anything like > complex? I see from xmlmind.com that XXE can interoperate with XEP. This is a good start. Is anyone using any of the higher-end products like Arbortext's Epic Editor? From a quick browse of the data sheet at arbortext.com, this looks suitably configurable. (Can I do something like this http://www.arbortext.com/html/ee_close-up.html#Figure5 with XXE?) Can a tool like Epic interface with an XSLT processor and a FO renderer? Is anyone authoring DocBook this way? (i.e. I want to use the standard XSL stylesheets, not to mention the customisations I've already made.) -- Paul. mailto:paulh@logicsquad.net mailto:phoadley@maths.adelaide.edu.au
