Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: Bibliography management/BibTex equivalent
Hi, with the upcoming changes to RefDB it will be possible to utilize integrated databases as well. This could be embedded MySQL or SQLite or something, thus no extra software will be needed. regards, Markus Egon Willighagen writes: The downside of this, however, is that you use extra software... and since RefDB requires a SQL database in turn (JReferences does not btw, and can use a file based database...), it poses extra requirements... -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hoenicka_markus/
Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: Bibliography management/BibTex equivalent
Hi Dave, the problem is less the markup but the rendering in the transformed documents. DocBook is good enough to hold any information you need to start with, but the publisher's requirements about formatting are pretty strange. Commercial bibliography tools which are mainly targeted at the biomedical field usually come with several hundred predefined styles. For an example of formatted output, please visit: http://refdb.sourceforge.net/examples.html A bit down the page you'll find two links to HTML documents created from DocBook and formatted for two different biomedical journals. regards, Markus Dave Pawson writes: Hi Markus. Please excuse my ignorance, but would someone do a little educating please? I have no idea what the issues are that make a biblio such a beast to style. If anyone has a demo of a good markup+display of a snippet of biblio I'd much appreciate it. Or am I the only one on the list that doesn't know all about this?

DOCBOOK-APPS: OpenJade 1.3.1 Windows Binaries and numbers
I have tried OpenJade 1.3.1 binaries for Windows. Working whit the Docbook DSSSL 1.74b i get error messages about quantities expressed as 0.7 (like colors) and also with pt magnitudes. Does OpenJade expect 0,7 instead of 0.7, or what is the problem? Thanks in advance, Juan R.

Looks like some locales problem. I'm not C++ expert, but this may be caused when some functions for parsing floats are using locale specific settings instead of default English ones.

Uhm, I think ulink is the right choice, but that doesn't help directly with the line breaking problem. It occurs to me that the ulink could could insert discretionary hyphens after every /, that would help. Someone posted link to Mandrake DSSSL customizations some time ago. I think that this patch use url package which is able to hyphen URLs at appropriate places like /. -- - Jirka Kosek e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kosek.cz

In most print materials that I read, hyphens aren't used, but lines are simply broken at '.' or '/', which is exactly what url.sty does for you. - Murray

Also take a look at this post: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200201/msg00267.html David -Original Message- From: Bang, Steinar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 2:52 AM To: 'docbook-apps' Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: A good tag for representing a very long URL I wrote earlier: What would be a good DocBook tag for representing very long URLs? I've tried userinput and programlisting, but the problem is that they become too long, when rendered by Fop. The URLs continue past the right edge of the paper. I guess I would like something that breaks the URL on '/' or '.'. I just tried command, and it gave a better result with Fop. I guess it won't break on '/' or '.', but the chosen font was more compact, so it fits on a single line.
