hello mike, hello tim thank you for this detailed insights into your experience and knowledge.
lately i had to implement a generator for a big catalog of products and i used docbook for it, but that was not a satisfying experience at all. docbook locks you into its predefined document-structures and is difficult to customize - i really hate this old fashioned xslt stuff. i believe, that the amount of incidental complexity in my application is unreasonably high because of docbook. The optimal solution for my purpose, which is focused on print-output, would be a DSL to produce modular, easy distributable, highly dynamic but not necessarily interactive documents which can be formatted for office- and www-compatibility. It should be possible to abstract over the DSL so that end-user can easily author their documents by using the abstraction. @tim being able to write a book like you describe, is probably exactly what my product-catalog needs because in the end its nothing more than a book combined of static and dynamic contents. cheers -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
