Subject: DOCBOOK: docbook suitable for book - creation ?
Hi, The literature for docbook - newbies (e.g. DocBook: The Definitive Guide) concentrates on the creation of the structured content. However, as I consider learning docbook for writing my thesis, I would also like to know how to produce a printed version of the book. I do have highly specific constraints regarding the Layout: e.g. the size of the left / right page margin, etc. So the layout is specified in the stylesheet, which is written in XSL or DSSL, I suppose ? Is there any online literature suitable for beginners ? So, if I want to create a suitable layout for my thesis - not for some thesis - but to fullfill the specifications that *I* got - will it be easy to learn to write the stylesheet (i.e. in a few days) ? With LaTeX everything seems clear to me - but the switch LaTeX -> docbook is a bit difficult if you have to print the XML - document to a PDF file in a concrete specified Layout ? I got the impression that layout doesn't matter to the docbook community... Thank you very much for any help! Peter.
