DOCBOOK-APPS: XSL Stylesheets for the *very* brave

[Norman Walsh <ndw at nwalsh dot com>]

The very brave amongst you might like to try the following:

1. Checkout the 'cvstools', 'gentext', 'xmlcharent', and 'xsl' projects
from cvs.docbook.sourceforge.net. Make sure you give them all a common
parent directory.

2. Edit the 'saxon' and 'xjparse' scripts in cvstools so that they
work on your system (don't ask me how; if you have to ask, you aren't
brave enough. Oh, but I will say this, you can safely edit xjparse so
that it doesn't do anything :-)

3. Run 'make' in the xsl directory

4. Fix the things I forgot to mention in this message. Run make again.
   Repeat until it works. :-)

5. Try the resulting stylesheet on your favorite test document.

Notes:

* The gentext system has been *completely* rewritten.
* The gentext system has bugs.
* None of the make targets except 'all' are expected to work.
* There are other bugs, too.
* Lots of "subprojects," like htmlhelp, are missing from the xsl project.
  They will eventually get their own top-level CVS projects.

*** THIS IS NOT A PRODUCTION READY SYSTEM, DON'T USE IT FOR SAME ***

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
