Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Docbook/XML, done with Java
My apologies if this is the wrong list. I'm new here. Here at work, we've decided to use DocBook for our internal documentation. It appears to do everything we need, and we've started creating many documents already. However, as we have varied levels of expertise, and various platforms to support, I've been trying to produce a "program" to process documents with DocBook through Java (I'm also a developer, and so if I need to build any wrappers or tools, I'd prefer to do it in my "comfort zone"). As far as I can tell, since we're using DocBook XSL, I should be able to simply use the appropriate stylesheets and process them against the XML documents we have. (Is this correct?) So far, I've tried using Ant 1.4.1 with Xerces/Xalan (whatever the latest ver is off of xml.apache.org) and the DocBook-XSL (from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.50.1-EXP.tar.gz ). Currently, I'm getting "strange" errors processing documents with Xalan (which I'll be taking up with those folks shortly, the output is cryptic and terse, which doesn't help me much). Regardless, I'm curious to know if anyone else out there is using an all Java setup? Do you have any suggestions for me to try? My goal is to process our DocBook XML with an automatable Java tool. Also, just because I'm new to DocBook in general, how many of you are using DocBook XML? I've been having difficulty using the SGML tools packaged with Debian when processing DocBook XML. How popular is the XML side of DocBook? What tools do you use? Reference material? I just want an automated process, dang it :) Anyway, any and all help is appreciated. Thanks, Matt Reynolds
