Subject: DOCBOOK: XML suites to manage DocBook projects?
Hello, I want to propose to use DocBook (with XSL processing) for all (or most :+}) technical software projects here at CERN. We have used SGML before (a long time ago, in the IBM/DCF mainframe days), but more generally speaking we are a (La)TeX shop (with some people, mostly in administration, using Microsoft Word, and a few others, for large complex stuff, Adobe FrameMaker). To get the ball rolling, are there any nice introductory manuals on the use of DocBook (I do not want to throw the reference guide at our users, yet...), that introduce the basic most-used elements and attributes, and an explanation of the procedure of how to generate PDF and HTML (via XSL). I have all the DocBook XSL stylesheets (thanks Norm!) installed, as well as a couple of XSLT processors. I am also able to run the whole thing myself, but I really need an introduction to get Joe Physicist and Jane (Software) Engineer going. Is there anything out there that I could use as a basic for a "DocBook at CERN" manual? Many thanks. mg PS. I know that DSSSL can do/does a better job in many areas, especially for PDF production, but I really do not have the resources to have two parallel systems. Hence I only look for XSL (XSLT/XSL-FO) based solutions, since these techniques are already in use at CERN in several other applications, such as EDMS, databases, XML content generation (e.g., HTML, SVG), etc.
