Hi all
I would like to known what the status/planning is for the docbook
support in doxia.
I prefer docbook over apt because it makes it very easy to generate a
maven web site on one hand, and offline pdf documents on the other hand.
Every maven website is just a 'chapter' and we have an offline docbook
file that groups them all together in a 'book' which can be used to
generate pdf from.
I checked the code and saw that currently it seems to implement
'simplified docbook'. It does so in a non strict way (doesn't check
doctypes etc), which makes most non 'simplified docbook' documents to
work more or less (not everything is supported ofcourse) as well. Thanks
to this, docbook 5 documents also work for all those features that
existed in 'simplified docbook'.
I like the approach, but still some changes in docbook 5 are
incompatible with what doxia now supports (links to other pages for
example).
So my question, what are the plans with this docbook support? And maybe
a suggestion: in stead of writing a docbook parser, couldn't we just do
xslt transformations to html with existing docbook xsl stylesheets?
Maybe not, because it would not comply with the structure of the maven
generated sites...
thnx
Jan
