Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: generate postscript from docbook xml

[Giuseppe Greco <giuseppe.greco@fantastic.com>]

Ian,
I'm also using openjade, but it depends which stylesheets Massimiliano
wants to use. With openjade he must use dsssl stylesheets...

I thought he was looking for a tool to be used with xsl stylesheets... 

Massimiliano, I agree with Ian: if you plan to use dsssl stylesheets,
it would be better to download openjade.

Gius_.
