Subject: RE: One Word User's Suggestions to DocBook under NT (was RE: DOCBOOK: Dockbook under NT)
I'd suggest playing with Emacs first, before going too far down this path. I know a lot of people just love it. I find it a jump back to the dark ages. If there were a reasonable alternative, I'd agree with you. O'Reilly "Learning GNU emacs" was worth its weight in gold. I now use it for XML, SGML, XSL, DTD's. (And I'm just waiting for Schema compliance :-) It just doesn't behave anything like a Windows application, because that have just made it work on Windows. This is great if you are Mac user, but this is terrible if you familar with the Windows tools. You really do need to like Emacs, if you hate Emacs -- just stop it does get better than this. sorry. 5 years on a mac, 4 on *nix, rest on windows. Its different, but 200% workable. If you can't install Linux, then read Markus stuff all the way through before you even start. When you start the process, keep the document or web site handy. You will be doing a lot of copying and pasting. If you are in the US, you might find that Ghostscript will default to A4. You'll need to jump in the pdf.ini, I think, and edit it by hand. If you have this problem e-mail me, I'll dig up my notes. I think the comparison with Linux is valid. Its about as clear. I've thought of creating a Wise install for all this to make easier, but I want a better solution. I'm still looking when I find something, I'll let you guys know. My only summary? Its worth the effort of getting it all right. Sorry you didn't enjoy it Jeff. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Regards, DaveP
