Hi,
hm. It should be possible to do some ant magic to have a "docbook
generation environment" that can be shared all over projects and is
static (containing libs, transformer zip's etc.) and just have the src
tree outside it. However that would in its current state require the
user to download two trees (one with the environment, one with the
actual docbook sources), probably set an environment variable or
property to find the tree and then convert it.
Will think about this some more. Might even be easily doable.
Best regards
Henning
