DOCBOOK: One Problem Resolved..
Hello Everyone, I had mailed the group earlier about db2pdf generating a PDF document with out page numbers... I was just playing around with db2pdf when I decided to try something that I usually do with Latex. I ran the command twice... and was pleasantly surprised when the corresponding PDF file had the correct page numbers etc. Cheers, a href=http://dhar.homelinux.com/dhar/Sumit Dhar/a Manager, Business Development and Products, SLMsoft.com

You just take the docbook-xsl stylesheet distribution and add the missing template for handling MathML. For creating an appropriate stylesheet driver file see the following posts. Haven't tried Norm's MathML-template yet: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200011/msg00189.html The second one works for me: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/200202/msg00139.html To see some example results, visit my homepage (see signature), select sitemap and search for MathML and/or Formal Semantics. You need a MathML-capable browser of course :-). HTH, Steffen. -- http://w3studi.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/~maiersn/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

DOCBOOK-APPS: Transforming SGML instance to XML instance
I should know this; my excuse is the long hours and late nights I've put in to finish my 450+ page DocBook-ed document have pushed the answerout of my head. ;-) The master version of my document is in SGML (has and requires IGNORE/INCLUDE marked sections) from which I need to derive various electronic versions, viz an RTF version, an XML version, and eventually a PDF. Now the RTF I can get (have got) using jade. Something, probably FOP whenit's upto it, will produce the PDF version. But I'm having trouble with the XML version. When I run sx to produce an XML-compliant instance no DOCTYPE declaration is inserted. Have tried every option I can find within sx but the DTD just doesn't make it into the output. It does include the ?xml PI correctly. The SGML instane's DOCTYPE declaration has subset declarations; actually all general entity declarations. Otherwise it's by the book. No element customisations no nothing. I'm using the latest version of openjade (1,3,4) ripped from sourceforge last week. As this includes all of SP the version of osx is the same (1.3.4). So happens I'm using the DocBook 3.1 DTD but that shouldn't be the cause of the omission. So how can I force sx/osx to include an appropriate DOCTYPE declaration for the XML instance?

DOCBOOK-APPS: controlling document appearance
Hi folks, My company is thinking of using DocBook (XML version) for documenting its APIs and various other docs. There are various requirements that DocBook seems to fill well, such as providing a clear standard, compiling to various formats including HTML, and allowing outside scripts to modify or add to the docs before processing. But one thing we need to do is brand the PDF file for printed output. The systems we're using are Red Hat and Debian. Is there any documentation on how to handle fine-grained visual control over DocBook on those systems? DocBook: The Definitive Guide only seems to cover customization of tags and attributes, not visual appearance. Thanks, Zack -- Zack Brown

Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: jadetex very slow on windows
I have some experience wiht Miktex, wich is the LateX distro I use. You can ask me for specific questions, perhaps I can help you. Please, indicate Miktex version. Regarding speed, I work with Windows NT 4.0 and have the same problem, but I'm working with tex output files of 1,5 Mb or more. Well, I like coffe so it's not so bad :-) If you use texifiy it will run three or more time to resolve references, and this can take quite a long time. For testing and proofread I use pdflatex directly at the cost of getting blanks in the places of references. Regards, Juan R. Migoya SPAIN Sharon B Jones wrote: Hi!

I run pdfjadetex (or jadetex) on this tex file and it takes forever! Granted, it's running out of main memory (I'm figuring out how high to bump it up) and I'll probably run out of strings as well, but it runs really fast on Linux! Is there anyway to speed this up on Windows? Also, does anyone have good instructions on using it with MikTex? The instructions I find are either for Linux (various flavors) or TeTexand the config files are not the same for miktex. I'm figuring this out as I'm going along, and I'm sure I can be doing something smarter.
