next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I am aware that there is more than a single set of tools that mgiht possibly be used to format Xml-docbook into html, pdf, and ascii, so I want to ask the advice of those FreeBSD'ers who have actually begun using docbook to format their own personal documents. You see, I have a very lnog-term history of usage of Groff-'s MM macros for my document formatting tasks, but I want to move to a more modern set of tools. That is specifically (today) docbook-4.[latest], and tomorrow is docbook-5.[latest]. I really would want, if possible, to avoid using any dsssl-based toolset. If there is a toolset that uses only libxml* based tools, that would really be the best, but I would be willing to consider adding in Java-based tools. Once I get it working under Java, you see, I am convinced I coudl (using a smallish postscript helper file) craft a toolset that no longer needs Java at all, but I need a working toolset before I can make that jump. Help me, please! Again, if you aren;'t using docbook yoursekf, pass this up, please, I only want to hear from those using the tools themselves, on the FreeBSD lists.
