Hello,
I'm pretty new to DocBook which I am currently considering as a
possible replacement for MS Word based creation of technical
documentation. My main requirement are the possibility of generating
multiple output formats based on one common source (typically PDF and
CHM), input based on source independent documents, and markup, not
Wysiwig orientated document generation.
My other requirement is that I need to use DocBook on plain Windows XP
or Windows 7 based systems, and if possible from within Visual Studio
2008 or 2010.
I played around for example with Oxygen and also the hints on how to
enable Visual Studio Intellisense for DocBook I found on Implicit
Operator
<http://implicitoperator.com/blog/2010/1/24/enable-visual-studio-intellisense-for-docbook.html>
but Intellisense with Visual Studio seems to be broken as soon as I use
XInclude. Oxygen is quite nice, supports XInclude, however I have had a
bit of problems to use cross file references and links. Appart from that
I would prefer our developers not to be required to use/learn yet
another tool in addition to those they have to do already.
I wonder if there is anybody who has similar requirements and has setup
a comparable system already that could provide hints where to put what
on a standard Windows system, if possible without installing Cygwin etc.
Also basic document examples with cross-file linking are welcome.
Thanks, Martin
