Hi,

I only use XXE for french translation.

There is some configuration for XXE like:
 <cfg:preserveSpace xmlns=""
   elements="address funcsynopsisinfo classsynopsisinfo
             literallayout programlisting screen synopsis" />
or
 <cfg:saveOptions cdataSectionElements="programlisting" />

The first one to maintain space in programlisting. And the second to use CDATA in programlisting instead of &lt;.

Simon,

That's exactly what I was wondering - if XXE played well with the current ZF doc setup (apparently it doesn't). I've only used it for documentation that I created (but I have kept a close eye on the XML output and have been happy with what I've seen). For non-programmers (or people who don't want to hand-edit XML) its a really nice tool. We've been using it for non-programmers to generate XHTML content since it focuses on structure (WYSIWYM <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYM>), not presentation (WYSIWYG). Too bad it doesn't play well with the ZF docs :-)

Thanks,
Bradley

    Hi Brad,

    FWIW I began using XMLMind to create and update entries in the ZF
documentation.
    It had a tendency to mash existing code examples (e.g. converting
    all < to &lt; and removing CDATA instructions) and muck around
    with every single line re: whitespace. In turn this meant the
    documentation guys had real trouble determining what had been
    changed, as the change logs showed that every line was updated,
    thus drawing out the process.

    As an editor it's brilliant - I use it a lot for other projects.
    Maybe the paid-for version allows more fine-grained control over
    the output, but for now I'll stick with hand-coding when it comes
    to ZF updates.

    Cheers


    Matt,

    Sorry about continuing an OT discussion, but I'm curious what you
    mean when you say the XML from XMLmind XML Editor (XXE) wasn't
    "good enough?" My experience with XXE has been that the XML was
    perfectly valid, well formatted in respect to whitespace, and met
    the DocBook specs. I find it surprising that it's quicker for you
    to copy-and-paste from Microsoft Word than it is to just use a
    structured content editing tool like XXE from the beginning. In
    my understanding, the whole point of structured content is that
    you're considering both content and structure at the same time.

         This is the quickest way for me that I've found.  The first
        part I worry about the content.  Only then do I worry about
        the semantics and formatting.

        I tried using XMLmind's editor once for client documentation
        at work.  I dumped it.  The XML it produces just wasn't good
        enough.

            Hey guys,

            Do you use a docbook editor for writing the zf docs? If
            so whats a good editor to use?

            Thx
