Hi, we like to announce the alpha release of "susedoc", a toolkit the SUSE doc team develops and uses to build the SUSE documentation, released under the GPL. The RPM package contains makefiles and stylesheets for HTML, XSL-FO and Wiki. See 10.0 http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/thomas-schraitle/SUSE_Linux_10.0... 10.1 http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/thomas-schraitle/SUSE_Linux_10.1... 1. Features ----------------------------------------------- * Validates your XML sources * Contains Python script to create a working sandbox with all necessary files. * Creates HTML, PDF and Wiki with a simple make command * Supports handling of conditional text in XML (aka "profiling") * Supports XEP, FOP planned 2. Requirements ----------------------------------------------- * libxml2, libxslt * inkscape * transfig * ImageMagick * java * xml-commons-resolver * docbook-xsl-stylesheets * svg-dtd * freefont * fop or xep 3. Restrictions ----------------------------------------------- * At the moment you can not build PDFs with our customized stylesheets due to restrictions on the FOP side (we use XEP.). However, it is possible to use the original DocBook XSLT stylesheets. * Wiki stylesheets are a "work in progress". Small chapters or articles should work but whole books needs more work. * Documentation can be improved. ;) 4. Quickstart ----------------------------------------------- With the help of susedoc-new.py after installation you can create a "Hello World" sandbox where you can play with, for example: $ susedoc-new.py -d docbook_44 This creates a directory "susedoc-xmltest" where you can find all the needed files. To create HTML, run "make html". For more information, see "susedoc-xmltest/README" or use "make help". For the next weeks I am on vacation. If you have questions please contact Frank Sundermeyer. :) Have fun!
