[docbook-apps] DocBook - PDF paths that aren't hugely expensive?

I don't mind paying for software but I can't afford the thousands that XEP costs, for exmaple. I'm really wondering what paths exist these days for turning DocBook into something that you can actually send to a book publisher (which seems to mean PDF, and that's certainly my preference, but I'm

I'm not trying to convince you that DocBook Friends are perfect, but really, you are able to prepare books with it! I'm personally quite happy with fop xsltproc. It requires some knowledge, but works pretty well. -- Regards / Pozdrawiam Tomek Kaczanowski http://practicalunittesting.com

Hi Robin, I've had a lot of success with PrinceXML (http://www.princexml.com/) as a DocBook to PDF solution. Like Antenna House (which I haven't used), it allows you to control appearance via fairly robust CSS stylesheets. It's not free (about $500 for a single-user license last time I

[docbook-apps] Olink sitemap for chunked HTML?

Hello, I'm stumped getting the sitemap right to resolve Olinks in chunked HTML. The Olinks between different files of the same document seem to come out fine. But Olinks between documents are broken. Bob Stayton's book, DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide, has solved lots of the DocBook XSL

Re: [docbook-apps] Olink sitemap for chunked HTML?

Here's an example of a map that I am using for chunked HTML. It can be a little tricky to figure out what the relative path to other documents is. It all depends on how you are packaging the HTML files. Mine are grouped in directories for the product, then the document, and then a directory named

RE: [docbook-apps] DocBook - PDF paths that aren't hugely expensive?

You can use the content property in CSS to replace text, and they have some prefixed CSS selectors/properties to convert an anchor link into a page reference. You'd have to look at their documentation as to how to handle it. This article gives a nice overview of some of the book-specific

Aha! Thanks very much, Peter. I got confused, thinking I only needed the baseuri attribute for single-page HTML output. That fixes it the problem completely. Before (and broken): sitemap dir name='html' dir name='another-doc' dir name='index' document targetdoc='another-doc'
