We're using *publican *to convert our DocBook XML files to PDF (and HTML). *publican *(under the covers) used to use *fop *to do the actual PDF conversion, but *fop *use has been deprecated by *publican *since a very long time. Nowadays *wkhtmltopdf *should be used instead of *fop*.
For Windows, there's only a very old version of *publican *available (with an even older version of *fop*). There are no efforts by the *publican* developers to support Windows. With these older versions, PDF build of ooRexx docs seems to still work, although with many thousands of errors/warnings. From my tests I assume that building to HTML won't work on Windows. For Linux, the newer *publican *versions only support *wkhtmltopdf*, no *fop*. Building PDF currently doesn't work, as we'd have to switch from *fop *to *wkhtmltopdf* first. Using the latter I expect to get better results for PDF build, the possibility for HTML builds, and, if needed, support from the publican community. In order get out of the dead-end situation with publican on Windows I suggest we make the change to *wkhtmltopdf* and do our doc builds on Linux only. What do you think? Any other suggestions? Is anyone of you willing to dig into this and do the actual switch? I know that Michael Mayne has been doing something into that direction - Michael can you help with this?
