Re: [docbook-apps] Question about XSLT processors

[Karen Schneider <kgschneider@gmail.com>]

Dick, thanks, that does help. So do some of the off-list suggestions about svn, batch files, and letting content writers focus on content (versus processing). I have that book in my interlibrary loan queue but think I will actually buy it!

Karen,

 

Here is a description of setting up xslt from Bob Stayton's

DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide. I have only used the Linux

description, but I think the windows version works well, too.

If you plan to do much with DocBook XSL, his book is a

must have. It will help you with your "hackfest." You can

start with the online version, but the print is worth

having.

Hope that helps,

Subject: [docbook-apps] Question about XSLT processors

I'm following instructions for Windows on this page:

http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=documentation:setting_up_docbook_transforms

I've made it through all the steps, but I have to tell you these instructions feel like they have a high kludge factor to them -- lots of typing, command-line stuff, etc. -- and as a newbie I wondered if there were better tools.

(By the way, I have committed to holding two "hackfest" sessions on Docbook at our upcoming Evergreen conference, so I have about 90 days to actually learn enough to stay ahead of a group of folks ;) ... no pressure there, eh)
