Announcing Mr. XML Publisher for DocBook, a free DocBook XML publishing
service at http://swhitlat.com/XML_Publisher/
The Mr. XML Publisher for DocBook website accepts uploaded DocBook XML
projects and returns output formatted with DocBook XSL.
* Returns HTML, PDF, HTML Help, Java Help, Man Pages, Eclipse Help, etc.
* Can use uploaded XSL customization layers
* Uses a project's graphics
* Can include content from relational databases and/or native XML databases
Browser
* IE6, IE7, or FireFox 2.0.x. Untested with other browsers.
* Allow JavaScript, Cookies, and XMLHTTPRequests.
* Enable a Java plugin compatible with Sun's JRE 1.6.0 (or higher)
and accept the signed applet. The applet reads your DocBook project's
XML and creates a zip archive of the project for uploading.
Project
* Must be a DocBook XML project containing valid DocBook XML.
* All project files must reside in a single directory, or a
subdirectory thereof.
* To use an XSL customization layer, it must be in a file named the
same as the project's main XML file, but with a ".xsl" extension.
* To import DocBook XSL located on the server, use the paths listed in
the "Use these paths" link available from the online Help.
* To include XML pulled from a database, follow the instructions listed
in the "additional instructions" link available from the online Help.
Mr. XML Publisher for DocBook is an implementation-specific version of my
commercial application, Mr. XML Publisher, which is a more generalized web
app for publishing XML. Detailed information on Mr. XML Publisher is at:
http://swhitlat.com/XML_Publisher.html
The Mr. XML Publisher for DocBook website is new. It works great on a gigabit
LAN, but it has not been tested under heavy-load conditions that might occur
on the Internet. Specifically, although pulling content from relational
databases and/or native XML databases works great on a LAN, I'm not yet sure
how that will turn out over the Internet. You will need to be cautious with
respect to security and pre-solve firewall issues at your local site.
