I have considered (and am in fact putting together pieces in my head) using DocBook in combination with some other things for something similar. Currently I am planning on using DocBook, Make (files), SSI and possibly a few other shell level things to manage a website / blog (if you will) for my self. In short, I'm trying to use (what I consider to be) the best tool for the job.

> … maybe there has already been an attempt to use DocBook for blogging? FWIW, I created a stylesheet for integrating DocBook documents with the WordPress blogging platform: http://el-tramo.be/blog/integrating-docbook-with-wordpress I don't really use it for blogging, though, only for integrating my DocBook articles in my webpage. Moving from dynamic blogs to 'static' blogs has gained some popularity recently, with projects like Jekyll being used a lot. These projects use Textile, Markdown, etc. wiki-like syntax as input formats, but DocBook would work as well. cheers, Remko - To unsubscribe, e-mail: docbook-apps-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: docbook-apps-h...@lists.oasis-open.org

Not docbook, but I've been generating atom blog entries for some time now. Each entry a different file (by date, then date.1 etc) Bit of python to get the xml file list, XSLT to generate html + toc XSLT to generate the full atom feed. It's worked for about 5 years for me. Validated using NVDL. Let me know if you're interested. -- regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk - To unsubscribe, e-mail: docbook-apps-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: docbook-apps-h...@lists.oasis-open.org
RE: [docbook-apps] blogging using DocBook articles or so ...
We have to be very conscious of who is the intended audiance. Warning pontification: You can't be everything to everybody. Creating DocBook XML and then getting the processing chain to work to convert XML to HTML and then screwing around to get something to look exactly the way you want it to in order to create a blog seems like way overkill. If something is not long or if the aesthetics are very critical, perhaps DocBook is not the tool ? I am not trying to start a flame war, just trying to look at things from everybody's perspective. -Original Message- From: jochen+oasis-o...@hayek.name [mailto:jochen+oasis-o...@hayek.name] Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2010 9:43 AM To: docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [docbook-apps] blogging using DocBook articles or so ...
