Customizing and creating a stylesheet for docbook using the XML Mind or Oxygen XML Editor

[daniel.keyes@finaris.de]

Hello,

currently my company is thinking about transferring its
user documentation into XML and docbook.
Since we are an IT company, XML and programming in general
is not a problem. But: We cannot find and adjust the stylesheet needed
to create our custom documentation.
We are currently setting up a prototype for our documentation,
following the instructions from Walsh´s "DocBook 5: The definitive
Guide" and working with the XML Mind Editor and a trial version of
"OXYGEN Editor".

Basically, we are satisfied with the results and trust
in docbooks function (since having lots of trouble with Word), but the
lacking transparency makes
it really hard to come up with a sample documentation/ prototype .Each
file we open has at least one reference to a website we cannot open and
dozens of files that don´t exist or are really hard to find. We checked
the regular docbook.zip from the docbook homepage, but also all  files
of the respective editors. (Is there something as a "default"
Docbook editor that you would propose?)

Can anyone give me some advice, a link or even a how-to
for adjusting the docbook stylesheet? Personally, I would love to use docbook
for our user documentation, simply for the additional features it has compared
to other text processing program, but only if I can adjust the appearance.
Especially regarding corporate identity this is absolutely necessary.

Thanks and with best regards,


D. Keyes
