RE: [JBoss-user] how to produce pdf files like jboss getting started guide?
That's the way to go IMHO. I liked the old free documentation in HTML and I like docbook and the whole idea of a XML transformation process into PDF or HTML. I sometime wish the new purchasable documentation JBoss Administration and Development or the getting started guide would not only come in PDF but HTML as well and that would be easily accomplished if it was written in docbook XML.

Couldn't you just do DocBook and a PDF FO using Xalan? I use DocBook for about everything, esp project docs and such... It's a little cumbersome doing XML rather than WYSIWYG, but I can be in Emacs and edit my document as well as go to my code easily, and I can target HTML or whatever.

You may find this diagram and description useful. It shows and tells how we generate all our documentation in multiple formats from a single DocBook XML source on the Out-of-the-Box project: http://www.ejbsolutions.com/xml-pub.html Below is a link to HTML generated from DocBook source, which just happens to show JBoss installation and configuration details: http://www.ejbsolutions.com/products/obox/community/ch17.html Sorry, I don't have a link to generated PDF from the same source.

Type the doc in whatever you like, generate a postscript file and use ps2pdf (http://stat.tamu.edu/doc/gs/Ps2pdf.htm). -dain On Wednesday, November 20, 2002, at 09:05 PM, David Jencks wrote: if you do some archaeology on the old, obsolete, free manual you will find it uses a build system like docbook xml source docbook xsl stylesheet transforms apache fop to output pdf.
