It will be quite tricky :) My status: - we can't use the provided build mechanism, as it would build-depend on saxon (contrib) - bad deal - everything is not dealt with in the provided built mechanism AFAICT - I still have to run saxon using it :) - anyway, Norm told me that the build machanism was incomplete - I could produce an HTML version using Norm's dsssl stylesheets, but it lacks index (I had to investigate how collateindex.pl works, for sgml2x, anyway), doesn't have crosslinks between elements/entities/etc, doesn't do anything with version attributes (those shown in ToC with version glyphs), and probably a good deal of other things. So here are my plans: - try to see whether the saxon built mechanism actually does something - investigate collateindex and add support for it in sgml2x (I had planned to do this post-1.0, but hey, that's life ;) [update: actually started this one - existing support for HTML only it seems. Bah, that's the minimum we want.] - write a small customisation layer over Norm's html/docbook.dsl, to handle the specificities of the defguide, and another one in between for general-usage (in the spirit of what I did for bookarticle.dsl (see alcovebook package) - write a nice CSS that will format the HTML in a pretty way If you have any ideas, just express them :) -- Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Why make M$-Bill richer & richer ?
