The step from xml to fo with xsltproc could work out of the box (just checked on my Ubuntu machine, it has docbook 4.5 support in /etc/xml and the files in /usr/share/xml/docbook). The step from fo to pdf needs Java and Gil's findings could be used to get it running on Ubuntu as well. > Did you compare the output quality on your build with Cygwin? Yes, skimmed through the pdfs and they look as before. > I remember that for the Publican build the quality of the output was > inferior to builds on Windows This has been strange, probably (pure speculation) the quality of the output was inferior because the quality of the bitmaps got tampered with. --- Will try out the xml->fo step on Ubuntu and report back ASAP. --- Just a word ad Gil's incredible effort to get that going on Windows: just witnessing how difficult it has been (not yet solved) to get it up and running on Windows and still getting locally available dtd/xsl to be honored, it is just incredible how much effort and patience Gil must have thrown at this beast! Allowing creating the docs in the end after a frustratign period where this ability was not there anymore or at least waning due to outdated tools that got more and more problems on Windows! Even if the documentation could be created on Linux it still would be very important to get the Windows build take locally available dtd/xsl files to speed it up as not everybody has Linux available! ---rony _______________________________________________ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
