Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Time for new DocBook Stylesheet Release?


Hi!

Thanks for asking. A couple of things pop up in my mind. HTML5 output based on Bootstrap, UI kit or Foundation (or whatever modern CSS framework you prefer). Or why not PhoneGap-ready output. I think in the long run, HTML output targeted for mobile devices would be one very exciting and useful feature for Docbook XSLT. Just have a look on sites like https://readthedocs.org or https://stripe.com/docs/api. I’m not saying that those sites are the mother of all things. But I am convinced that output like this would make Docbook more future-proof than it seems to be right now.
