If you want to mark your document as being a draft, simply add attribute status="draft" to the root element of your DocBook document. This has an effect when the document is converted to other formats such as PDF and HTML. > And if I want to customize the generated PDF (or html), how difficult is > that? It depends on what you want to do. All the answers are found in this book: "DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide" by Bob Stayton -- http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ > Will CSS do the job? The HTML generated by the conversion process can be customized by modifying the CSS style sheet found in XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/xsl/css/html.css (XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook5/xsl/css/html.css for DocBook5). > Do I need to know mysterious things like FOP > (hope not).
