Re: [docbook-apps] docbook framework for win32 and linux

[Dan Gilleland <dagilleland at shaw dot ca>]

If you are wanting to ease the setup of "identical" paths for different
platforms, you should also consider looking into the use of Catalog files to
manage the paths for the xslt processing, etc. Catalogs can be used to
resolve many of your paths in your directory structure. They take a bit of
work to set up, though, and you had best plan to build your catalogs
incrementally, testing the small pieces with the tools you plan on using.

As a side note, I've tried eDE on WinXP and while it worked well, I found it
a bit rigid. It was a great starting point, however, for planning some of my
own batch files ('cause that's all the eDE really is - a set of batch files
to pseudo-automate the transform process). My own hopes are to create a more
flexible non-batch document processing app, as I find batch files are so
"rigid" (I'm really an OOP-based programming guy myself).

Anyway, I hope that helps
