Hi,

This morning John pointed me a css hacked by Rene Rivera that lets us
"see" a normal html page as quickbook sources. I think it is a
brilliant idea.
I have hacked the missing parts to carry this idea to a neat end.
Please go to:

Use a decent browser like firefox 2. (and make sure the page is not
cached in your pc)
Go in the menu to "View" --> "Page Style" --> "Quickbook Source"

Magic!
:)

You can browse the document because I have not hidden the navigation
machinery.
Now you guys have to find a way to copy the result, ctrl-c in firefox
does not work... I do not care. If we have to hack firefox sources,
lets do it ;)

Two cases:

(A) Docbook to quickbook translation
This will be a piece of cake. We convert the boostbook xml into html
using xslt and then see it as quickbook sources with our favourite
browser.

If you use Opera then you can cut and paste the quickbook markup directly from the browser... however, I notice that code blocks come out as [pre ... ] blocks which is wrong, but easy to fix afterwards.

Also Opera has quite a few issues rendering your current browser scheme: see screenshot attached for an example (BTW Opera ids a free download these days, so it's easy enough for folks to test this).

HTH, John.
