Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Tools for DocBook authoring by non-hackers
Hello, I downloaded the trial version of Syntext's Serna. I'll just answer a few of my questions for the benefit of the list. On Wed, Jan 14, 2004 at 10:56:36PM +1030, Paul A.

These 'modified' stylesheets are just for the on-screen rendering. Serna does not implement the entire FO spec, so I presume these stylesheets are modified to remove elements they don't support. > I presume that the publishing hooks described would allow me to rig > up xsltproc and XEP as the tools for actual HTML and PDF output? This is possible. I have tested it using XEP and Saxon (as distributed with XEP), and the standard DocBook XSL stylesheets. It works exactly as expected. This could well be the tool I need. I will report back when I have customised it some more if anyone is interested. -- Paul. mailto:paulh@logicsquad.net mailto:phoadley@maths.adelaide.edu.au
