Hello developer crew,
i just wanna say: Perfect work !!!
1. I've tried Plucker for generating an E-Book-Tutorial
based on XML-DocBook. Additionally i've added mathematical
equations using a LaTeX->GIF workaround. It look's perfect
with a HighResolution device (e.g. Clie)!
I've once a time tried to view a PDF document with equations
... never try this, that's awkward.
The mathematical equations under Plucker looks really great,
if the at least the grayscale mode or bpp=2 will be used !!!
bpp=1 will work also, but some parts of the equations
were not visualized correctly.
2. I've tried Plucker for generating an E-Book-Javadoc-API.
It works, too, if you are excluding
0:-:.*index-all\.html$
because there are too many links.
technical docu:
For simplifying i used Ant to generate the HTML pages from DocBook
and for generating the Plucker-E-Book from these HTML pages. I excluded
not supported files to avoid errors.
interested?
If you are interested, the complete process was implemented using Ant
and shell scripts and is completely available in the JOELib project (use
CVS version, it is up-to-date !):
1. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/joelib co
joelib
2. The workaround for generating mathematical equations using DocBook is
documented under:
http://www-ra.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/software/joelib/tutorial/documentation/documentation.html
3. If you like, i could send you the generated .pdb-file or an image
with mathematical equations or you wait until i will build a new release.
