[docbook-apps] DocBook to Adobe AIR Help

2012-04-30 Thread Jeff Powanda
Has anyone used DocBook 5 source files to generate an Adobe AIR Help system? I searched the forum and saw only a few messages from 3 years ago and wondered if any recent progress has been made. If possible, I'd like to avoid commercial options such as RoboHelp or MadCap Flare, but may be forced

[docbook-apps] find/replace in title

2012-04-30 Thread Jeff Storey
I'm trying to do a find replace in the title of my docbook (the title is dynamically generated and if it has certain words in there, I want to replace them), but I'm not sure how to go about this. In the titlepage.xsl, I have tried replacing $recto.content with

Tim, I use Michael Kay's XSLT 2.0 book. It has some flaws (like being hard to navigate; both because the headers don't contain enough information and because some basic concepts are spread around), but it has some extensive examples and a lot of detail. It also does a pretty good job of identif

I found Sam's 21 Days book on XSLT to be a good beginner's course on how it all works. I didn't finish it, but I believe it only covers 1.0. -Original Message- From: Tim Arnold [mailto:jtim.arn...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, April 30, 2012 2:35 PM To: DocBook Apps Subject: [docbook-apps] le

hi, I'm using DocBook 5 and creating HTML using the stylesheets with a few customizations of my own. I understand xslt a bit, but I'm just a beginner. If my goal is to comfortably understand the docbook stylesheets (particularly the upcoming xslt2.0 version), what can I do to learn more? I am alre

Chris: That was it. I realized I wasn't using the customization layer for epub2 only epub3. I added the parameters as command line arguments for xsltproc and now they are working just fine. This is what I added: .png images/callouts/ It makes no sense to me to have to hardcode how many callo

I think I found the problem. One of my paths in my script was pointing to an old file, therefore giving me false errors. I knew it had to be something small that I was missing. Going back and doing the test you suggested helped me find that error. Thanks Joy On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 11:29 AM, wr

Joy Did you try to run it against book2.xml alone? That will tell you if it is a valid book. Once you get book2 to validate then try it with the set. Regards, Dean Nelson In a message dated 4/30/2012 7:53:24 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, joy.and...@ansys.com writes: I thought I had th

I thought I had the xinclude all working but when I added my second xinclude book to the set file I get the "warning: failed to load external entity" and the file does not resolve. Book1 resolves. I tested by putting book2 first and it still breaks on book2 but processes book1. I even tried to mak
