Xmplar have released cop-e-boox v 0.1, a bundle of open-source DocBook
stylesheets and templates for learning XML digital publishing.
Cop-e-boox works with desktop publishing software and has a browser
interface that lets users set styles for document and page layout to
produce ebook formats. The stylesheets produce PDF, EPUB 2 and XHTML web
documents from a single-source publishing workflow.
Small publishers can use cop-e-boox with lightweight commercial XML
packages and are not locked into any proprietary system. A browser-based
interface makes it easy to change text, tables and graphics styles for
complex book layouts.
The package is supported with training for small publishers that
introduces the concepts and capabilities of XML for publishing. Xmplar
are digital editors developing desktop publishing technologies.
