RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Docbook/XML, done with Java

["Glass, Eric" <eric dot glass at capitalone dot com>]

The attached zipfile contains what I am using, and a simple example book.
This assumes you have all the necessary jars in your classpath, ant is set
up, etc..  You would type:

ant -buildfile xalan.xml -Ddocbook=C:\docbook-xsl-1.49 -Dbook=example

for xalan, and

ant -buildfile saxon.xml -Ddocbook=C:\docbook-xsl-1.49 -Dbook=example

for saxon.  This will build HTML and PDF output (using Fop).  There are some
(sparse) comments in the build files, but they should get you started
anyway.

Now you've all got me curious :-)
I'm off to do some more reading.

Tks for the input.
