RE: [docbook-apps] Applying Docbook/XSL stylesheet directly to docbook.xml document?

[Eduard Tibet <eduard.tibet@i-free.com>]

Hello!

Olga, if your docbook xml source is quite simple in structure maybe other approach to xml rendering have to be chosen? What about direct xml rendering by CSS? In these posts [1],[2] you can find out the details about it.

There is standard instruction for this, your file should start with

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="docbook.xsl" type="text/xsl"?> <book ...>

</book>

But please note that standard DocBook stylesheets are too complex for many browsers -- they will usually fail or at least render it quite slowly. But if you create simpler stylesheet covering only subset of elements you are using you can get pretty decent browser rendering.
