[OT] LaTeX, XML (Re: installer screenshots)

With db2latex-xsl, you have your own "driver" XSL stylesheet, that sets all variables etc. E.g. to use the stylesheet of your publisher. > Why, can DocBook do the screenshots? :-) Not better than LaTeX - you may use EPS or PDF graphics depending on the desired output format. DocBook/XML gives you better ways to create HTML (e.g. better than LaTeX2HTML, IMHO) and other formats. If you have more questions, let's do talk in private, gerne auch in deutsch, as it's not relevant to debian-boot.

It's a book explaining the Debian way and its motivations. DocBook would make sense, but the publisher gave me a LaTeX stylesheet. So unless I can incorporate db2latex-xsl-generated code into existing TeTeX code, it's a no go.

Re: installer screenshots
I asked the same question here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/04/msg01355.html The outcome was that I had to use an emulator, such as bochs or qemu. Because of real-world-work, I didn't try. If it's possible to run the emulator in an xterm, you might be able to copy the screen contents "textual" for use with an LaTeX verbatim environment. Btw.: What kind of book are you working on? Do you think, DocBook/XML and transformation to LaTeX via db2latex-xsl would be a suitable way to produce the book? The DAHB (German Debian Anwender Handbuch) is made that way. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
installer screenshots
[Please CC me on replies!] For a book that I am currently writing, I would love to include a walkthrough of the new installer. The question is: how can I make screenshots in the best possible way? The book is typeset in TeTeX, and I could use something like UML or VMWare to obtain the screenshots, but then how do I paste them? Using PNG's is going to be very ugly, I think. Does anyone have any ideas? Also, is it possible to run the installer inside a chroot? Or do I need a virgin box?
