7/2 What are some XML DTDs/schemas for writing technical documentation?
We have standardized on HTML for documentation at my company
and I am tired of having to do everything by hand. (proper number
formatting mostly. Nested <ol>s just aren't good enough) Ideally,
I'd like to write an XML document and have an XSLT script
generate the HTML for me. DocBook looks interesting but heavyweight.
\_ Sun uses SolBook, which is a slimmed down subset of DocBook.
The OpenGroup uses DocBook for the official UNIX standards.
\_ My former employer used DocBook... from my experience and what
I heard, it seemed to work fairly well.
\_ what is wrong with Latex?
\_ Nothing is wrong with LaTeX. I used it extensively when
I worked in academia.
I worked in academia and was quite happy with the results.
But LaTeX isn't something that I'd want to standardize
on in our corporate setting.
\_ why not? it's too difficult to parse? the machinery behind
it is poor? it's too low level?
\_ You could use Texinfo and Texi2html. |
