Steep learning curve? DocBook looks pretty simple. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Kirk Wolf <k...@coztoolkit.com> Sent: Friday, December 23, 2022 10:46 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Markup languages
Years ago we looked for a tool set for our documentation with the requirements: - produce decent PDFs and HTML documentation from same source - text source (preferably XML) - open source and portable - NOT Word or anything like it We ended up using the docbook framework from Apache (DBF), which is a set of Java/XSLT/Ant tools. It's not perfect, but it's very good for our needs.
