Re: [docbook-apps] Integrate DocBook-xsl sheets with Emac text editor

Hi David :

I'm sorry for not considering about your recommendation.

When I'm going to download oXygen first time, in download page it says that it a commercial software. Because of I want to get familiar with some thing which can be used long period of time and I found some DocBook Editors[0] then I tend to use one of them.

But after saw the reply that you sent to Visitha Baddegama's post about 'About DocBook webhelp project', I get attention towards oXygen and it also provides a free trial. So, I download it and used to make .html using integrated DocBook style sheet.

Hi Gihan,
For writing DocBook 5.x, with emacs you want nxml mode [1]. PSGML mode
is for editing DTD-based DocBook 4.x docs.

I don't see a real need for connecting the xsls to emacs since there
are any number of ways to set up a build and in a continuous
integration scenario  you don't want it tied to your editor anyway.

If you want a slick, IDE-like experience that has everything built in,
try the oXygen XML Editor [2].

 

Actually that is a magnificent editor as you said. It already has the features that I'm dreaming about.

Thank you very much !. 

Regards,
David
