Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Publication Strategy
I am a new OASIS member and need to find a better publication strategy. Currently, I write aircraft manuals via the Air Transport Association SGML Standards (ATA 2200) and have been using Docbook as an publication outline to develop my documents for electronic text. My system consists of writing the manuals in FM+SGML (Windows 2000) and then exporting them to SGML. I do a quick transformation from SGML into XML (via editing in Notepad) and use XSL (based on the Docbook XSL) to style the document into HTML. The system is very primitive (albeit very inexpensive) but it limits my ability to reach my goal. Can anyone suggest any alternate methods? Also, the graphics are done in TIFF/CGM format then translated to JPG? Is SVG better? My goal is to provide searchable, interactive manuals in which the user can easily navigate and if so desired export to various formats (pdf, word, rtf, etc.) for downloading and printing. Unfortunately, I have no budget so I cannot purchase any proprietary applications. Thanks.
