Description : XSLT stylesheets for transforming DocBook into LaTeX
DB2LaTeX are a set of XSLT stylesheets which generate high level LaTeX2e
from your docbook document. They do not perform any FO transformation,
the only thing they do is to map DocBook tags into more or less standard
LaTeX (a recent installation of LaTeX 2e is required, with most common
packages. However, in more stable releases, package dependencies will be
completely managed with xsl variables, making it virtually compatible
with basic LaTeX 2e installations). All the "styling" has to be done by
modifying available xsl:variables, overriding and customizing templates,
and in the last, by adding your "sty" files.
They are heavily based (that is, I started from a local copy and then
start changing things here and there) on Norman Walsh XSL docbook
stylesheets. These stylesheets are published here with Norman Walsh
permission. Copyright and due credit is for Norman Walsh. Bugs are mine.
However, bear in mind the fact that these stylesheets are NOT the XSL
Docbook stylesheets. Thank you.
They are "alpha". That means : it may work, it may not work. Your
favourite feature may / may not be implemented. I will be glad to accept
patches in form of XSL code or anything :). Many thanks to those who
have already sent me patches and pointed out some bugs.
