[docbook-apps] Generating HTML from docbook in autotools project
Hi all, I have a project that uses autotools (autoconf, automake and libtool). I have been writing the manual for the project in docbook XML format instead of tex. What is a common method for generating HTML (single and multiple page) documentation from a docbook file within this environment? I am not sure which of the many tools are most commonly used, and which is simplest to integrate into an automake based project. I would think that many have at least attempted this and so was wondering if people have any advice? Thanks, Brendon. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [docbook-apps] sorting Docbook
Hi, Actually, your stylesheet does work. When I downloaded your blog-sort.xsl and blog.xml files, and applied the stylesheet with xsltproc: xsltproc -o sorted.xml blog-sort.xsl blog.xml I got a correctly sorted output, with the dates in this order in sorted.xml: 2005-01-01 2005-07-07 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-27 2005-08-28 2005-09-22 2005-09-23 2005-09-23 2005-10-05 2005-10-05 2005-10-08 2005-11-03 2005-11-26 2005-11-27 2005-12-05 2005-12-06 2005-12-07 2005-12-20 2005-12-26 2005-12-26 2005-12-28 2006-01-05 2006-01-30 2006-02-20 2006-02-20 2006-04-27 2006-05-09 2006-05-09 2006-05-26 2006-05-30 2006-08-10 2006-08-10 2006-12-01 2006-12-01 2006-12-04 I don't understand why it didn't work for you.

I have compiled all my blogs into one XML file (it is not valid Docbook yet; http://www.ceplovi.cz/matej/blogdata/ blog.xml) and then tried to sort the entries according to their info/date element using my own variant (http://www.ceplovi.cz/matej/blogdata/blog- sort.xsl) of sorting XSLT stylesheet from http://www.xml.com/pub/ a/2002/07/03/transform.html However, xsltproc when running over the document (and it is not sorted, for example entry "Mannheim’s Paradox" is out of order) does exactly nothing (checked with diff). I am doing probably some really stupid mistake, but I cannot find for the world, what's that. Can anybody help me, please?

I too have run into the same problem and resorted to using xincludes to import all of the required paragraphs...

RE: [docbook-apps] Reusing where a should be - and the reverse
That xpointer did work perfectly. Thank you! This may be a question for the docbook list but is this a common problem encountered when reusing content? I've run into it many times when making short excerpts of material in larger technical references. Now I have a working solution so I'm happy. XMLMind won't accept the syntax of the xpointer but since I'm actually writing the content in other documents it doesn't matter.
