Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] DocBook on OSX : XSLT & XSL FO programs
I use a combination of Gnome libxml2+libxslt and Java applications. libxml2+libxslt does most of the work for my applications. It is a very high-performance library. I also provide a Tcl scripting language interface and some GUI applications to make things easier - see http://tclxml.sf.net, particularly the tkxmllint and tkxsltproc apps. Although there are only binaries for Mac OS X and Windows, these can easily be built for Linux (it's so easy I haven't bothered doing it!). While not essential, I find scripting support very helpful for automation. Unless you now how to write Make files, or are comfortable using Ant. For FO processing I use FOP or RenderX XEP.
