docbook xml - paper based outputs?
I am a new convert to Docbook, having discovered it doing a vague Google
search for xml single source documentation.
I run the technical documentation department for a new software company (in
fact, it's just me!).
My Holy Grail is a single-source documentation system, but it has to be
Windoze based...
It must output to: HTML (I will then add a css stylesheet to add Company
design elements to it), and PDF.
So far I have been able to hack my Docbook XML code in my text editor. Load
the xml file into XMLSpy which validates it for me. I can then select an
XSL template from within XMLspy and voila, there's my output. This works
beautifully for HTML and I have been able to produce an FO file too.
I have a few probs though:
Is there an XSL template for RTF output?
My XMLSpy freebie month is about to run out and I need to try out the
alternatives before I buy it - what does the list suggest?
I don't want to output to FO directly because I will need to do some
Company colourscheme adjustments before I print... My instinct with PDF is
to output to RTF, clean it up, add page breaks, add a nice cover page etc
in Word (I can hear the sharp intake of breath!) and then print to the
Acrobat Distiller.
Any comments or ideas that can help?
Nico
