Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: TEI DocBook
First you have to decide what kind of documents you want to markup. Docbook is a markup for technical documents, it has many elements for this job and few for general text. TEI or TEI2 designed to markup poems, romans, etc. (designed for literature.) In all of them you can structurise the document, insert tables or emphasise texts, insert pictures, etc. If your documents' not need special elements to markup you can use both, but in this case i suggest you to use docbook because the stylesheets are much better and configurable then TEI's.

Why are the advantages / disadvantages to using TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) as opposed to DocBook. Thanks again Regards Mark Brand
Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: Open ebook conversions
Norman Walsh írta: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 / Bill Lawrence [EMAIL PROTECTED] was heard to say: | Does anyone know of existing conversion scripts to transform Docbook | into Open eBook? No. Open eBook is a subset of XHTML, right? This is not correct. OEB has two parts: 1. opf: meta information (dublincore, reading order, manifest, etc) 2. content: this is an xhtml webpage or pages with pictures and css. With the docbook stylesheets you can create second one. The XHTML stylesheets will probably get you most of the way there. If you have suggestions for improvements, please let us know. Here is very simple stylesheet that demonstrates, how can you create the opf file. You have to add the filename and ids for pictures after the transformation. I'm sorry but i wrote this file only for proove the possibility creating microsoft reader file (lit) from the same source. Maybe it can be good for start.

DOCBOOK-APPS: pdf rendering problems
Hi! I have some questions about docbook dsssl pdf rendering with jade and openjade. 1. Can i tell tex to keep title/subtitle block together? 2. Can i keep title/subtitle with next paragraph in the rendered page? 3. Is there any possibility to control orphan? lines. (not to render a single line to a page. - this is also problem at toc and the end of a chapter/section) 4. Can i use another fontsize in tables than paragraphs? and i have another problem with toc. Under some circumstances the page number rendered under the title not the right side of the page like this: some title2 some long title 3 thanks for any hints, Gabor. Ps: Norm - the dsssl 1.76 hungarian lang. modul contains some problems which was also in xsl 1.4x but already fixed in 1.5, like: chapter 1. is 1. fejezet in hungarian not fejezet 1.
