Hello,
We actually have no problem with the standard DocBook XSL
Stylesheets. It's just that we are not familiar with generating EPUB
formats and the DocBook way to do it in the DocBook XSL version we
use is a ruby script. Our application is made in Java so using this
ruby script is not convenient at all for us. That's why we thought
we might use XXE capabilities to perform the work. Checking the
document
XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/xsl/CHANGES_MADE_BY_XMLMIND.txt,
it looked like the XSL coming with XXE fixed some issues from the
standard one.

Hello Hussein,
Our goal is to convert DocBook5 into EPUB, and using the
modified XXE
EPUB stylesheet fits our needs.
They are not modified. They have been rewritten from scratch.
The reason for doing this was that the first release of the stock
DocBook XSL Stylesheets which generate EPUB, even after some
important changes, didn't work with Saxon, only with xsltproc (if
my memory serves me well).
After rewriting the EPUB stylesheets from scratch, we have
contributed them to the DocBook XSL Stylesheets open source
project. However, this open source project has preferred to keep
the original stylesheets (which are maintained by Keith Fahlgren
-- http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/2878 -- who seems deeply
involved in EPUB).
Thanks for your help.
My pleasure.
I'm curious to learn what is your problem with the latest version
of the stock DocBook XSL Stylesheets which generate EPUB?

PS: Please do not forget to to read
XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/xsl/CHANGES_MADE_BY_XMLMIND.txt
It contains *important* information about XHTML 1.1 which is the
foundation of EPUB.
Best regards,
NeoDoc

Is it possible to embed the XXE convert doc function(more
precisely epub
conversion) in our application(Calenco)? If so, is there
some
documentation about it?
"Convert Document" invokes XXE process commands
(http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/process.html).
Only XXE can execute process commands. The answer is therefore
no,
it's not possible.
However it's still possible to embed:
* The conversion of DITA to EPUB by embedding XMLmind DITA
Converter
(quite easy to do). See
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/embed1.html#embed1
* The conversion of DocBook to EPUB by reusing the
corresponding XSLT
stylesheets (which are *not* those found in the DocBook XSL
Stylesheets --
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/ --
see also
XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/xsl/CHANGES_MADE_BY_XMLMIND.txt).
The main difference with XXE process commands is that process
commands
automatically use all XXE plug-ins: image toolkits for
automatic
conversion between image file formats, virtual drive plug-in
for
uploading the output files to a remote server, etc.
