Folks, I am writing a textbook on HTML, and want to include a chapter on XML. I am trying to get the following code (DocBook) to generate a PDF file. After a LONG struggle I managed to xsltproc to use my XML and get the HTML to render...but the PDF eludes me. Can y'all see anything wrong with the following code?
When it is generated, by someone who knows what he is doing, the block quote stuff just disappears...the cite stuff renders just fine??? What I am trying to do is simply show my student/readers how XML can be used. I have spent over 70 hours trying different software to no avail. Ideas welcome! What I really need is a reliable tool-chain to take XML and generate HTML, PDF, and maybe one other format that I could capture and show the students. Can anyone help?????
