I've kicked the idea around on numerous occasions. I actually use docbook on my book projects, the DTD and existing XSL stylesheets work great for that kind of content.
Websites are another story. For websites, you need to look unique and pretty much have to write your own XSL stylesheets or do an obscene amount of customizing to get everything to look just the way you want it. The docbook DTD is so huge that writing XSL stylesheets to handle all the tags would take weeks and weeks of time. You could write XSL stylesheets that support a small subset of the DocBook elements, but you would never be able to add new XML elements that your XSL stylesheets could translate -- as Norm always says, if you customize docbook, it's not docbook anymore. -David > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf > Of Mike Bresnahan > Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 6:25 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [OpenEJB-user] DocBook > > > Have you ever considered using DocBook to do the > documentation for OpenEJB or any other project?
