[docbook-apps] [ANN] Qizx 4.0 released

2010-06-11 Thread Olivier Ishacian

Qizx is an embeddable, high-speed, native XML
indexing and query engine written in Java(TM),
with the querying and processing capabilities of
a fully fledged XML Query implementation.


===  What is new in version 4.0:  ===

* Qizx Server is a ready to use server module
  allowing remote clients to execute queries
  and retrieve results through simple HTTP
  REST-style protocols:

  - API service provides the main capabilities of
the Qizx engine. Clients send their own queries.

  - XQuery Services is a mechanism for calling
stored queries and passing parameters.
It can implement a business logic middle tier
or lightweight Web Services-like applications.

* Partial support of XQuery Scripting.

* Qizx now requires Java 5 or above.

Please visit http://www.xmlmind.com/qizx/changes.html
for more information.


Qizx is available in several editions:

* The commercial product has 3 liberal licenses
  both for corporate application development, and
  for royalty-free distributable products.

* The Free Engine edition is a fully functional
  version of Qizx which can be used for developing
  or in production.  It is limited in database
  size (one gigabyte of XML approximately).

* Qizx/open is an open-source version of the XML
  Query interpreter of Qizx.  Qizx/open has been
  available since 2003 and is recognized as one
  of the most advanced and fastest XML Query
  implementations.


Please visit http://www.xmlmind.com/qizx/ for more
information about Qizx.

Re: [docbook-apps] how to get rid of title attributes on div tags in html output

 Hi Stefan,
 This was discussed in May in this thread:

 http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/201005/msg00033.html

 The template mode=html.title.attribute is used to generate all those
 title attributes. You can turn off all title attributes with this:

 xsl:template match=* mode=html.title.attribute/

 That also turns it off for links, though.  This needs to get fixed in
 stylesheet's next release.  I thought someone had filed a bug report
 on it, but I guess not, so I just filed one.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately overriding
xsl:template match=* mode=html.title.attribute/
only removes it from the links and not from the divs.

Do, you have a link for the bug you filed, for reference in the bug I
have on the issue in gtk-doc?

 hi,

 people complain about the title attributes on div tags, as those show up
 as tooltips in browsers, just where you are reading.

 e.g.

 book
  bookinfo
titletester Reference Manual/title
...

 becomes:

 div class=book title=tester Reference Manual

 I can't find anything on
 http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/index.html
 to disable that. I am now digging the stylesheets for a while and I
 found only this template
 xsl:template match=* mode=html.title.attribute
 but that is just creating the titles for e.g. links. Any tips?

 Stefan

The workaround seems to be
xsl:template name=generate.html.title/

Re: [docbook-apps] dblatex Randomly Produces Bold Pages

 I'm using dblatex via Python to produce a PDF file on a Windows machine.

This is perhaps better addressed on the dblatex mailing list (unless
there's s.t. odd about your XML, which I didn't look at that closely).  The
dblatex mailing list can be accessed here:
   https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dblatex-users
FWIW, we've used dblatex for several years now, with some fairly hairy
stuff (mixed left-to-right and right-to-left scripts, for example), and
never had a problem with bolding.  But we haven't used some of the elements
you're using, such as procedure, mediaobject, screenshot etc.  So
perhaps there's a problem there.

[docbook-apps] appendix vs. reference?

2010-06-11 Thread Robert Nagle
I'm looking at the docbook 5 documentation. Here's one thing I can't
get my head around.

What's the difference between an appendix tag and a reference tag?
http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/reference.html
http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/appendix.html

I have some technical information and tables I wish to put at the end
for the reader's reference. But I'm not sure whether i should do an
appendix or a reference. I plan to have 3 or 4 appendices about
various unrelated topics.

i see that reference has a lot of refentries amd refentries has a a
lot of children, so I understand that reference is probably more
structured. What  kinds of content would be better suited as a
reference instead of an appendix and vice versa?

At what point do you decide an appendix should be a reference?

Re: [docbook-apps]PDF downconversion to docBook XML

2010-06-11 Thread Kurt A Richardson

Hi list

I am new to DocBook, and XML-based publishing in general.   I run a 
small publishing company (30 titles), that specializes in complexity 
theory and I have been looking for ways to not only improve my little 
doc flow methodology, but also make our content available to our readers 
in a variety of new modes and formats.  I have been drawn to DocBook and 
the possibility of using XSLT as a means to realize these goals.  I have 
little trouble figuring out how to prepare new content and am hoping to 
produce our next two titles purely from DocBook XML.  However, I also 
have about 6000 pages of PDFs (not all having the same format) that I'd 
like to 'down convert' to DocBook XML.  I am making SLOW progress and 
wondered if anyone here had any bright ideas about how to approach this 
task... e.g., is PDF to html the best first step?  Or does anyone know 
of any affordable services being provided to do the down conversion for me.


Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

I'm really rather excited about the possibilities that arise once I move 
our publishing from Adobe CS to XML-based!


Kind regards, Kurt
