Subject: Re: [docbook] HTML BR tags
Hi Dave, Docbook is about marking up content, not about layout. The layout is done in the XSL transformation step. If you're not satisfied with the default layout, you'll have to do your changes/extensions via an XSL customization layer. Check those references for more info on XSL customizations: http://www.sagehill.net/xml/docbookxsl/index.html and http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/ Patrick Dave Viner schrieb: > Hi, > I am generating a DocBook XML file which I need to convert to HTML.
