There's a great article on typesetting a commercial book using only HTML and CSS at: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/boom With new additions to CSS 3, there's much more support for formatting documents for printing, creating books, etc. There's a very useful Open Source command line tool for converting from HTML to Postscript or PDF: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ PhantomJS also provides capabilities for converting from HTML to other formats such as PDF or graphics: http://phantomjs.org/ _______________________________________________ Celinux-dev mailing list Celinux-dev@lists.celinuxforum.org https://lists.celinuxforum.org/mailman/listinfo/celinux-dev
