Subject: Docbook toolchain tips
I am pushing my company to adopt Docbook as a "documentation standard", but, of course, my (questionable) personal charme is not a point good enough to convince my colleagues and our senior management. As speaking of semantics precision and separation of content from format is not that a involving subject, the basic point I am making out is the advantage of single-source documents. On the other hand, I usually write my XML docs with a plain text editor, I do not think many employees of ours are confident with markup languages and would switch happily from MS Word to inputing tagged text in an editor. I wonder if you can suggest some esy-to-use authoring tool (I've already tried Sydoc) for Win32. Furthermore, as a FO formatter, I am realizing FOP, while being more than enough form my personal use, is far from flawless. I have tested XSL Formatter and XEP, and I must say I like very much the former for its speed and its neat output (I also understood it has a very good standard compliance). I have also found on the web many more tools I haven't tested yet, and I could not find any comprehensive fo-support comparison chart, but one at http://www.antennahouse.com/xslfo/comparison-fo.htm. Which of the processors around are worth a try in your opinion? My minimum requirements are good SVG support and a "predictable" behavior (i.e. adhere quite strictly to w3c recommendations). Thanks, Luciano
