What I wanted was the toolchain you use to format your docbook documents, and very muhc NOT the editor, which I have already chosenn to be vim. Can you tell me the entire list of applictions that yo use what to convert your docbook docs to pdf? All the other formats, yes, I want them, but pdf is the key one. Can you please help me out?
Please don't tell me to use make. I'm not trying to be cute here, but it's rather obvious you'll use some tools organizer, and I'm perfectly competent to use make, once I know my toolchain ok. I'm a old hand at make, it's the tools that make will invoke that I'm after. I would strongly, STRONGLY want to avoid all of the dsssl tools. If you know the entire toolchain that allows xsltproc-directed scripts to work (which you sort of hint at in your email), that would be fine, perfect. Just tell me EXACTLY what you use. >> Do you feature any that you had to build outside of fink? > > All of them are wysiwyg.
