Wow, that's ... quite something. So, basically, there's no sane, supported toolchain for producing books from doc*book*? I mean, the options I'm aware of that are actually usable are XSL-FO, which apparently isn't *for* that, and dblatex, which is certainly usable but isn't really about docbook at all, it's about transforming docbook into something book-able. Am I missing something? I take it, therefore, that the pro/paid XSL-FO solutions are a bunch of hacks on top of XSL-FO? -Robin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docbook-apps-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: docbook-apps-h...@lists.oasis-open.org
