Hi,
I've been trying to use the "fo/highlight.xsl" which comes with the Docbook 5.1
code for a "<book>" project (Linux host) and requires listing source code in
multiple programming languages. Current source code listing without syntax
highlighting just looks like ordinary text and is hard to read...syntax
highlighting would be very useful.
I see instructions involving adding a jar file to a Java tool...specifically
Saxon and Xalan are mentioned. My current build for PDF format uses xsltproc to
put several XML files together into a large monolithic file, then this is
processed with fop (validated with jing, this step not listed):
xmllint --output "${OBJ}/${TITLE}_monolithic.xml" --nonet --noent -xinclude
"${CONTENT}/${TITLE}.xml"
xsltproc --output ${OBJ}/${TITLE}_monolithic.fo ${XSLT}/docbook.xsl
${OBJ}/${TITLE}_monolithic.xml
fop -c ${PREFIX}/fop.xconf -fo ${OBJ}/${TITLE}_monolithic.fo -pdf
${OUT}/${TITLE}.pdf
The trouble here is that I don't know the proper order of which tool to use in
which order. It seems like I need to do one of the following:
Name both docbook.xsl and highlight.xsl in the same command;
Transform via docbook.xsl then transform via highlight.xsl;
Transform via highlight.xsl then transform via docbook.xsl;
Add Saxon or Xalan somewhere in the middle;
Abandon xsltproc and switch tools.
What tools must I use (or abandon) in which order to modify my existing chain
of commands to allow program code syntax highlighting?
Thanks!
