Hi, I'm getting started with Apache Ant and DocBook publishing. I have figured out how to use Ant to transform DocBook files with the stylesheets. Now I'm trying to find an efficient, maintainable, and scalable way to handle the sets of attributes that are unique to documents.
I am dealing with about 40 documents and each one has a set of values that I need to pass in when they are published. For example, each document has a docid for olinking, a document title that appears in Eclipse output, an output filename, and similar details that I need to control while publishing. In the past, I've stored all these details in a crude database that I read with my publishing shell scripts. I'm moving to Ant in an effort to make the publishing process more easily understandable and maintainable. Can you point me to a good way to handle these document attributes when DocBook publishing with Ant? I didn't see the way this is handled in the DocBook/Ant examples I've found on the web. Thanks for your help. Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
