Mike and Tim; This weekend, I hope to put on JIRA some updated web site documents for review. These will be reformatted with a new XSLT stylesheet and graphic logos using the existing XML StyleBook sources. I am not using the old Java StyleBook program.
http://xalan.apache.org -- from the svn: xalan/java tree http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j -- from the svn: xalan/java tree http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c -- from the svn: xalan/c tree The XALAN-C documentation will be a snapshot of my current working copy with major changes from the Apache SVN sources. The XALAN and XALAN-J documentation will be direct snapshots from the Apache SVN repository with minor edits so that "sbk:..." references can resolve and be validated. I am preparing Xalan-C documentation. I have reviewed the Xalan-J documentation tree. I use the Xalan command-line program to create the web pages from StyleBook XML without using the Java StyleBook program. The XALAN-J documentation has made some significant departures from the archived StyleBook validation samples. I have made changes to my copy of style/dtd files to accommodate the markup validation as seen in the XALAN-J web page sources. My XSLT stylesheet has also been updated to handle many of these changes. As I find other differences, my XSLT transformation for StyleBook XML is being modified. I also have a CSS stylesheet for browser presentation - based on the layout of http://people.apache.org. The web pages scale well for browsers having window widths of 800-2600 pixels. I will post to JIRA the Windows (cmd/bat) scripts files and XSLT stylesheet I use to create the above web pages. Unix scripts can be easily created to accommodate what I am doing in the Windows command environment. The JIRA posting will also include the documentation sources used to create the web pages. The HTML web pages (except for doxygen API for Xalan-C) will also be posted. The doxygen generated API for Xalan-C creates over 300 megabytes of graphics. I will include the doxygen configuration file that will generate the API for Xalan-C on Linux boxes. I have not looked into the Apache Forrest. I hope the learning curve is not too steep! I use the Xalan command-line processor to build the web pages. I have had to edit the files containing "sbk:..." URIs and change them to relative URLs to find the style/dtd validation files. Now they can be transformed using standard XSLT transformation programs. I am also working on a style guide for documentation project committers. I am working on a simple XSLT transformation that will convert a <book> file into a Windows (cmd/bat) file or a UNIX Bourne (sh) file that can build the web pages for the <book>. An earler snapshot of my XALAN-C documentation is available at: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-712 New logos are available for review at: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-714 Your comments on web page look-and-feel and your evaluations are welcome.
