I've been looking at a couple of the options for producing XML JavaDoc (to feed to my XSL-FO stylesheet to produce paginated JavaDoc output). It seems that the two most popular / well known options are the Sun XMLDoclet and the (peripatetic) XMLDoclet that is here at Alexandria.
But I'm not very enthusiastic about the sun doclet; it doesn't handle embedded tags very well, and the source isn't available. Although I do like the (implied) DTD much better than the Alexandria nee Cocoon doclet. So I started working over the Alexandria XMLDoclet, to correct the glaring issues (can't set output file etc), but I'm finding it necessary to make large and incompatible changes to the doclet and DTD in order to have workable XML output for writing the FO stylesheet. *** My question is: *** Does the Alexandria XMLDoclet (and especially the DTD) have an established user base? Is it worthwhile to refactor the doclet and the DTD to make them easier to use, at the cost of breaking any scripts that depend on the current DTD? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
