Ended up with the following which is working quite well for me on a MacbookPro. I've a docbook file from which I create chunked HTML for a doc hosts and a PDF for peer review. * xsltproc, from Fink * docbook-5.0CR1, from docbook.org * docbook5ns-xsl-1.71.0, from docbook.org (note it's docbook5...) * fop-0.93, from xmlgraphics.apache.org Here's my build.sh script exhibiting parameters and the like: ---- start ---- #!/usr/bin/env bash DOC=$1 XSLT=xsltproc XSLDIR=docbook5ns-xsl-1.71.0 FO_XSL=$XSLDIR/fo/docbook.xsl CHUNK_XSL=$XSLDIR/xhtml/chunk.xsl FOP=./fop-0.93/fop FOPEXT="--stringparam fop1.extensions 1" rm -rf build mkdir -p build/{html,fo,pdf} echo transforming docbook to chunked html $XSLT --stringparam base.dir build/html/ $CHUNK_XSL $DOC.docbook cp -r images build/html/ echo transforming docbook to fo $XSLT --output build/fo/$DOC.fo $FOPEXT $FO_XSL $DOC.docbook echo transforming fo to pdf $FOP -fo build/fo/$DOC.fo -pdf build/pdf/$DOC.pdf ---- end ---- The end result is a PDF replete with bookmarks (note it's fop1.extensions, not fop.extensions as was the case with fop 0.20). FWIW, I ended up using Emacs with nxml-mode as my docbook editor. Although I've been using Eclipse for the last few years, I had trouble getting it setup, especially with the RelaxNG schema that Docbook5 pushes. I'd been an emacs user prior so old habits came back. The mode has good tag completion and helpful hints when the doc is malformed. Haven't got it working with split docs, however. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/XML-Processing-on-a-Mac-tf2962313.html#a8305850 Sent from the docbook apps mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
