Subject: Re: An apology and some minor revelations
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 / "Scot W. Stevenson" <scot@possum.in-berlin.de> was heard to say: | There are still parts that don't make sense to me -- the <emphasis> tag, for | example, doesn't seem to fit. I can write a book, a section, a chapter, a | paragraph, a list, a quote, even a programlisting, but I can't "write" an | emphasis. This still seems like a formating command if I ever saw one. Also, Well, emphasis isn't really about formatting. I can indicate that something is <emphasis>really</emphasis> important without providing any information about how that should be presented. (It could be bold, or italic, or spoken in a louder voice, or rendered as "!begin emphasis really !end emphasis" or some other entirely text format appropriate for braille, etc.) | I still can't find a docbook.xsl (and I don't seem to have a "locate" command | on this system). If it is any comfort to Daniel, this is a SuSE 8.2 setup | I'm having trouble with. It seems that they replaced jade by openjade and | quite a few loose threads remain; and yes, I've logged an error report. The docbook.xsl file is probably part of some "docbook-xsl" package. Jade and OpenJade are associated with a "docbook-dsssl" package. These are alternative rendering technologies. XSL is probably a better long-term gamble, but DSSSL may provide better hardcopy formatting using free tools.
