Re: Another question about equation numbering customization

Hi Bob,

Thank you for your answer.
You are right, as usual. I was missing the namespace prefix. All work fine now.

Happy new year,

Re: [docbook] orientation of pages in PDF

[I'm going to move this over to the docbook-apps mailing list where 
stylesheet issues are discussed.]

Hi,
There is some guidance for doing landscaped pages in my book:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PageDesign.html#LandscapePages

As you will see, it is not a particularly simple process in XSL-FO 1.0 
because it does not support landscaped elements that flow from page to page. 
You have to either separate your sections into separate page-sequences, or 
use PSMI.

However, since that section was written, some XSL-FO processors such as 
Antenna House or XEP have added extensions for multi-page landscaped 
elements, but not FOP.

Thanks for trying, Camille.

Is the wiki still locked? If not, could somebody please add me to the 
UserGroup page?

Cheers

It seems to still be locked.  I sent another note to the administrator.

revisit: putting together a docbook 5.0 toolchain for linux


  revisiting something i was working on a while back before i got
pulled away to another project, i want to put together a toolchain on
fedora 12 linux for processing docbook 5.0 and generating as many of
HTML/PDF/PS/whatever as possible, while keeping the installed packages
to a minimum.

  to that end (and keeping this non-packagey), what aspects of
toolchain processing can i *omit* that represent optional or legacy
issues that i really don't care about?  for instance:

  * don't care even marginally about SGML
  * don't care about DSSSL
  * don't care about docbook 4.x
  * don't care about DTD if schemas will be adequate

you get the idea.  if i have no need for backward compatibility, how
little can i install on fedora 12 (hopefully extensible to other linux
distros)?

  so far, i'm pretty sure i want the packages:

  * libxml2 (for xmllint and xmlcatalog)
  * libxslt (for xsltproc)
  * docbook5-schemas
  * docbook5-style-xsl
  * fop

beyond that, i'm still checking dependencies.  anyone else gone thru
this exercise and deduced what needs to be there?  if not, once i

How about validation? I use Jing from James Clark, now on GoogleCode.

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbooksetup/index.html
was my thoughts.

I'm also running FC12, but Java/Saxon based, with xep replacing fop.

  that's on my list of things to incorporate and test.

  xep is not open source, is it?  last i looked, it was still
commercial with trial versions.  ideally, i'd like to keep my entire
toolchain OSS.

A more robust toolchain called Publican is already in Fedora (and
heavily used by Red Hat).  It's the best DocBook tookchain I've come
across (include the two or three I've written myself over the past few
years), it is entirely open source. Publican also makes it fairly easy
to build your own branding for documents.  It doesn't yet support
DocBook 5, but it may be easier to start there rather than re-inventing
the wheel.
