Hi there.

I would like to ask the list members: how do you create docbook- compilant XML documents? What does your workflow looks like so to say? Do you write XML files in a XML editor? A web interface? My apologies if this is slightly
off topic.

I started working with docbook a couple of months back, so my
experience is very limited. Since we do software, we are internally
using cmake+ctest+cdash for managing our regression technique.
All I had to do is write a custom cmake script so that instead of
compilation errors, I know reports error of xmllint --valid. I also
catch error (on stdout) when running fop, and xstlproc.

I personnally use vim + serna to edit docbook (both are debian
packages), some coworkers uses emacs and I think one is using XXE at
times.

Cheers

Hello Mathieu.

So it seems that you have to deal with more or less highly skilled programmers then, not "average endusers", right? One big problem for my part was that most of the more common workflow outlines I found on the net were incorporating e.g. Oxygen or similar editors. Because we needed a tool that even users with only limited IT knowledge could use without too much trouble, those workflows where just too complicated.

Docbook in combination with XSL-FO is a great thing. But it seems to me that there is a gap to fill for user friendly authoring systems.
