Normally, the author uses the DocBook menu to convert his/her document to HTML and then use any browser to check the result. However feel free to change our DocBook configuration. Here's how (in the following example, we use template document article.xml as an example): [1] Use a text editor and open XXE_install_dir/config/docbook/template/article.xml --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";> <article> <title></title> <section> <title></title> <para></para> </section> </article> --- [2] Add this line after the XML declaration (i.e. after <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>): --- <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="...my_CSS_style_sheet..."?> --- or --- <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="...my_XSL_style_sheet..."?> --- Do not use the docbook.css included in the XXE distribution. This CSS style sheet has been tuned for XXE and would give very poor results with Mozilla. [3] Start XXE. Open the Options dialog box, Open tab, and check "Ignore <?xml-stylesheet?>". This tells XXE not to use the style sheet specified in the "<?xml-stylesheet?>" processing instruction of the opened document and, as usual, to use the docbook.css included in the XXE distribution. [4] Write a new article using the modified template. Save it. [5] Preview it in Mozilla. > Second, I am having trouble getting bold text. I highlight text, select > emphasis(bold) and it does not appear bold on the editor, on the browser > the source code indicates it's marked up as bold, but it doesn't look > bold there either. I cannot reproduce this problem. When I select some text and use the text styles menu in the tool bar and then choose "emphasis[bold]", the text appears as bold in the editor (unless, of course, the text was already styled using a bold font such as inside a <section><title>, in which case, there is no style change).
