Sorry, no jsp examples, but yes it can be (and is being done).
Try some jsp sites.

If your docbook is a true subset of docbook then the stylesheets should 
work fine for you.

DOCBOOK-APPS: Has anyone used java server pages to serve up DocBookXML documents?

[Lori Wong]

I'm new and although I've looked through the list archive, I'm not sure 
that the postings about Java and DocBook XML necessarily address 
implementing a java server page to serve up DocBook XML as HTML 
on-the-fly.  Most of the postings appear to address creating HTML output to 
a file rather than through a web server.  I am just learning about java, so 
this question may be rather naive. I have a fairly small set of documents 
which only use a subset of the DocBook DTD (something slightly larger than 
the Simplified DTD).  Does anyone have an example they might be willing to 
share that does this type of transformation via a jsp (or is there 
documentation that might be relevant that I should read)?  Is Norman 
Walsh's XSLT the preferred stylesheet transformation and can it be 
customized to only deal with the subset I'm using?

Thanks in advance!

Try (define (book-titlepage-verso-elements)
instead of set.

DOCBOOK-APPS: multi paras inside listitems

[Tammy Fox]

When producing PS from DocBook SGML v4.1 using the DSSSL stylesheets,
I am getting too much space after listitems with multiple paras. The
same as this old thread:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200104/msg00216.html

Has anymore found a workaround?

Thanks,
Tammy

Are you sure you're not seeing an old HTML file generated by
html/docbook.xsl, and that the files generated by chunk.xsl, are
ending up in a different directory?

Hello,

I have added the following in my DSSSL customization layer (1.76), but 
it has o effect (the revision history still shows up on book verso title 
page). Am I missing something?

Camille.



(define (set-titlepage-verso-elements)

There are several RPM-based distributions (I don't know about
non-RPM-based ones) that have PassiveTeX RPM packages.  PLD, for
instance.  For Red Hat Linux: .

So, for RPM-based distributions at least, setting up PassiveTeX isn't
hard any more. [In theory..]

So, to agree with Peter: pick some other criteria..

RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: The Best Linux Distribution to work with DocBoo k

[Peter Ring]

For a while, Mandrake appeared to me to be most up-to-date. But I don't
think there's much difference now. Anyway, most of the DocBook and jade or
xslt specific packages can be installed from source without too much hassle.
I'd pick the distribution based on some other criteria (like how easy is it
to get passivetex working).

Kind regards

 Between the main Linux distributions - RedHat,

your experience, wich one is the more appropriate to
work with Openjade, Jadetex, LaTex, StyleSheets,
DocBook-DTD's, Graphics, XML Editors, XML Browsers
and other related tools, in order to make pdf's,
HTML's, etc. documents from XML DocBook documents (I want

DOCBOOK-APPS: Generating with html/chunk.xsl doesn't chunk

[Dominik Kuhn]

Hello

This is my setup

- DocBook XML 4.1.2
- DocBook XSL Stylesheets 1.5.0
- Xalan 1.2.2 (Version 2.3.1 didn't work, there were another emails 
about problems with V2, so I switched back to 1.2.2)

Building a single file html using html/docbook.xsl works. If  try to 
build chunked HTML I get one file with all the single pages 
concatenated. What's wrong? (I don't see it ... :-(  )

Here's my command:

java -cp 
"C:\Programme\xalan-j_1_2_2\xalan.jar;C:\Programme\xalan-j_1_2_2\xerces.jar;C:\Programme\xalan-j_1_2_2\bsf.jar"
 
org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in docbook2.xml -xsl 
H:/DocBook/docbook-xsl/html/chunk.xsl

I tried this one with and without a "-out test".

The output of xalan looks ok:
---

Parse of file:H:/DocBook/docbook-xsl/html/chunk.xsl took 3915 milliseconds

  Well I will expose my bias. I am the main author of libxml2 and
libxslt (xsltproc), I am paid by Red Hat, and as such I will give 
priority to Red Hat customers when I'm under time pressure. Tim Waugh
also helps a lot on making sure our distribution will work for most
documentation needs. That said I think it's well known I tend to
process bugs from whoever raises them, even from Windows users.

I don't think anyone can answer this without some tendency on the
answer. You should also check which distribution has an active person
on these packages, how often they are updated, how many DTDs are
available, etc.

I was going to say to you to use XX distribution but I'm
suspicious since I work for them and I've made their packages (and
this same phrase fits well for others here, so it doesn't apply just
to me). But, there was a standardization process and Mandrake,
Conectiva, SuSE, RH, Debian, etc. were all participating of it and
using the same tools. So, what you will find is almost the same
environment.

Plus, what you will really like to look at are all the features of the
distribution. Don't choose it based only in one package and in today's
status. Take a carefull look at it.


Choosing a distribution is more of what you like than what we
say. This is the topic of very inflamated flamewars.
