Hi,
I am new to docbook and eDE but have a decent grasp of XML. I have managed to publish a book in chunk html and pdf. I have read thru the eDE manual and am wondering about the following: 1. Is there support for output besides pdf and html? For example, RTF or man pages? 2. How do you change stylesheets? Not sure which config file or implications really. 3. Can I get autogeneration of Index and Glossary pages by markup in the source? Feels like I am missing something about linking to the source files. Appreciate any input. BTW - this technology and tool rock! chris |

Chris,
1. HTML Help is supported. RTF is currently not supported because the Apache FOP does not (yet) create reasonable RTF. 2. In c:\docbooks\stylesheet, modify the stylesheets named custom_*. You should not edit the e-novative_* stylesheets, as they provide the default values (that might change in future relases). Any setting you make in a custom_* stylesheet will override the default settings. The naming scheme should be self-explanatory: edit custom_article_html.xsl to make a settings thay apply for all articles when converted to HTML. You can also make document-specific settings by creating a stylesheet document_"document name"_html.xsl. Documentation about the available XML parameters is available at c:/docbook/xsl/doc/reference.html 3. Run Code: to view the DocBook manual explaining all tags.
docbook_documentation This should help to get you started. Have fun and let us know about your results. Kind regards, The >e-novative> Team -- >e-novative> - e-Business Software, Solutions & Services We make IT work for you. http://www.e-novative.de |
