Hi all! This email announces three new updates:
1. https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-XML-DocBook-Builder/bin/docmake v. 0.0603 with support for generating xhtml5 and the new --trailing-slash=0 flag: docmake is a tool to render DocBook/XML into its resultant formats using XSLT: XHTML, XSL-FO, PDF, RTF, etc. For a brief help type docmake help . It aims to be a replacement for xmlto - http://cyberelk.net/tim/software/xmlto/ . As opposed to xmlto, it is written in Perl, which is easier to get right than xmlto's Bash, and xmlto hasn't been updated for a long time when I started work on docmake. # To render input.xml file into XHTML docmake -o output.xhtml xhtml input.xml # Same with more verbose output docmake -v -o output.xhtml xhtml input.xml # Avoid trailing slash when emitting to a dummy file in a dir docmake --trailing-slash=0 -o output/notneeded.xhtml xhtml5 input.xml # Render into pdf docmake -v -o output.pdf pdf input.xml # Same while not rebuilding if not necessary docmake -v --make -o output.pdf pdf input.xml # Render using a Stylesheet docmake -v -o output.xhtml -x my-stylesheets.xsl xhtml input.xml ------------------------------------- 2. The document https://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/computers/web/choice-of-docs-formats/ was recently updated and still recommends taking a look at DocBook 5/XML and Asciidoc(tor). It is available under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ . ------------------------------------ 3. I recently started extracting my homesite's GNU Make-based framework for generating various formats out of DocBook 5 and it is available here for now: https://github.com/shlomif/cookiecutter--shlomif-latemp-sites it requires docmake, gnu make, some CPAN modules and may be too opinionated, and documentation is somewhat scarce at the moment.
