Free, open source, DocBook 5.1 assembly processor

[Hussein Shafie <hussein@xmlmind.com>]

XMLmind Assembly Processor is a Java™ software component and a 
command-line utility (called assembly) which processes a DocBook v5.1 
assembly[1] and all the referenced topics in order to create the 
equivalent “flat”, monolithic, document (e.g. a DocBook v5.1 book). This 
equivalent document is called the realized document.

The realized document is then transformed to other formats (PDF, HTML, 
etc), normally, as if it were created by hand, using the DocBook XSL 
stylesheets[2].

As of v0.9.3, XMLmind Assembly Processor includes XInclude 1.1[3] and 
DocBook Transclusion[4] processors, which allows to create modular 
DocBook v5.1 documents without facing limitations. All you need in 
addition to XMLmind Assembly Processor is the DocBook XSL stylesheets.

XMLmind Assembly Processor is free, open source, software, which like 
the DocBook XSL stylesheets, is licensed under the terms of the MIT License.

PS: XMLmind Assembly Processor v0.9.3 has not yet been integrated to the 
XMLmind XML Editor add-on called "DocBook v5.1 configuration (Release 
Candidate)". This add-on still leverages older version 0.9.2. See
