DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: NewBie Question

[Norman Walsh <ndw at nwalsh dot com>]

/ François Beauregard <fbeauregard@pyxis-tech.com> was heard to say:
| I have managed to generate documents to HTML using docbook-xsl using SAXON
| Here is a little part of my ant build file
| 		<!-- Generate HTML from XML -->
| 		<touch file="${basedir}/docs/${document.name}"/>
| 		<style   processor="trax"
| 			basedir="${basedir}/docs"
| 			destdir="${dist.dir}"
| 			style="${basedir}/lib/docbook/html/chunk.xsl"
| 			includes="${document.name}"
| 			classpathref="project.class.path"
| 		/>
|
| I would like to generate pdf using FOP.

Well, something like this:

 		<style  processor="trax"
 			basedir="${basedir}/docs"
 			destdir="${dist.dir}"
 			style="${basedir}/lib/docbook/fo/docbook.xsl"
 			includes="${document.name}"
 			classpathref="project.class.path"
 		/>

should get you an FO file. And then it's probably possible to plug FOP into
Ant, but I can't say how off the top of my head. Maybe the FOP or Ant
docs say how?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
