Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: sgml2x 0.99.4 released


sgml2x 0.99.4 is out.  This release adds more comfort:

- no more pollution with temporary files,
- automatic production of PDF bookmarks,
- full usage of DocBook stylesheets without passing extra flags,
- catches errors not completely reported by (open)jade,
- uses openjade by default,
- symbolic names for verbosity levels,
- renaming of HTML dirs as *-html instead of *.html.

Yes, this is not yet 1.0. I may add support for index generation
before that, and even a couple of other things listed in the TODO
list.

sgml2x allows to easily format a SGML or XML document using DSSSL
style-sheets, and provides the following features:

   - Multiple possible style-sheets per document class

   - Easy specification of style-sheets using aliases

   - Easy integration of new style-sheets by adding a simple new
   definition file in a configuration directory

   - The caller can specify a PATH-like list of configuration
   directories, defaulting to a system-wide, a per-user, and a
   per-project configuration directories

   - Automatic selection of a default style-sheet to be used, based on
   assigned priorities

   - Pass arbitrary options to jade(1)

   - Works in a temporary location so as not to pollute the working
   directory with temporary files

The document-class used to look for the style-sheets, and the output
format, is for now only derived from the name with which the program
is called, so you will want to call this program through symbolic
links like docbook-2-pdf.

sgml2x is a implemented as a shell wrapper around jade(1) (or,
preferably, openjade(1), although we use the generic name jade
throughout this documentation), jadetex(1) and other tools.
