Subject: [docbook] DocBook on the Web
Hi everyone, Since the question came up, I thought I would announce that the OASIS UBL 2.0 Specification has been migrated to DocBook and is available as both HTML and XML (DocBook). I can load it fine locally in Firefox, but can't display via the web. IE(7), however, seems to be happy to chew on it until it can be dislayed: http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/cs-UBL-2.0/UBL-2.0.xml (produced by Jon Bosak and Ken Holman) Regards, Mary --------------------------------------------------- Mary P McRae Manager of TC Administration, OASIS email: mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org web: www.oasis-open.org phone: 603.232.9090 Register for OASIS Adoption Forum: "Managing Secure Interactions in Sector Applications" 28 - 29 Nov 2006, London www.oasis-open.org/events/adoptionforum2006/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Elliotte Harold [mailto:elharo@metalab.unc.edu] > Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 5:51 AM > To: docbook@lists.oasis-open.org > Subject: [docbook] DocBook on the Web > > Reading Norm's latest post > <http://norman.walsh.name/2006/10/30/openMind> I wondered, has anyone > tried publishing straight DocBook on the Web? i.e. > sending real DocBook XML + (CSS | XSLT) to the client; not doing the > conversion server side or earlier and sending HTML to the client?
