Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Apache modules for serving DocBook
Hi, As I understood, you need to process your XML documents on the server to dynamically generate XHTML output. If Cocoon or Forrest properly handle the XML transformation, you still need to find a solution to minimize the compilation time, right? If I were you, I would: 1. Modularize my DocBook documents. Note: What I mean by modularization is the way DocBook Website source files are modularized.You'd write separate XML documents and structure them in an XML layout file. 2. Write an XSLT style sheet to resolve XML documents from the layout file and chunk them. The reason for which I proposed this method is that you can avoid transforming source files that have not been modified.
