[docbook-apps] Making PDFs in Windows

Hi guys, have you ever used Docbook to generate PDFs in Windows?  Did you
use Cygwin?  If not, would you recommend anything else?


[docbook-apps] Error while trying to put together a document with xsltproc

2009-12-09 Thread Yves S. Garret
Hi :) .  I'm a docbook n00b.  Just getting my feet wet here.  I configured
my mac mini to compile docbook xml files.  I got the information on how to
configure it from this site:

http://www.working-software.com/node/18

I was looking at the below tutorial.

I'm a little confused why it's not working.  The error message isn't really
telling me anything specific (again, new to this stuff :) ).

Command line:
% xsltproc --output my_content.fo $XSL/fo/docbook.xsl my_content.xml
my_content.xml:2: parser error : SystemLiteral  or ' expected
!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC -//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN [

Here's the file:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 ?
