You could for example use the > docbook.sf.net XSLTs, a manual is available at Which means I don't have to export it to separate files - I just mentions the XSL stylesheet of my choice in the docbook file and its rendered on the fly to HTML. Right? :) I realize I could use a book on XML technologies in general. Perhaps you have any good suggestions? This is how I would like the book to be: * It should be a reference book plunging deeply into the major W3C XML technologies. No tutorials or educational form which forces me into a certain reading style. I should as an engineer, be able to understand and use the discussed technology. * Not a beginner book. Straight to the point. * It must be up to date. Speaking of relevancy - is it at all worth getting "a bible"(a big and expensive book) on XML, or will there be a new draft soon in a major technology? (some haven't even left draft state) Is it worth getting a big book? Is there major XML technologies which just have left working drafts and a "wave" of up to date books are on its way? When is the right moment to buy? * It should not bother about SGML/DTD. * It should be neutral, generic and not tailored to a specific case(db applications, for example). It should not be implementation specific - no examples from a programming language. And certainly not else. A google search returned nothing of value(IMHO), any good suggestions? Cheers, Frans
