- Subject: [docbook] DocBook and Publishing Software
Hello all,
The company I work for is making decisions about its plans for future
docbook publishing and the current situation that Framemaker is in.
Given that Frame may not survive, and that docbook / XML is the format
of choice for our publishing needs. What are your opinions on software
solutions for a publishing department? Granted the department has
individuals of different roles such as writers and editors etc.
The tools I have seen are two fold: WYSWYG publishing (ala frame) via
Adobe InDesign (which I hear isn't ready yet to replace Quark or Frame
yet, dont know its DocBook abilities at all).
OR the XMetal route where publishers essentially become programmers and
use something like Sernea from Syntext to be able to view their code.
Anyone willing to offer their suggestions from the Industry as to an
intelligent way to merge a department into the future of docbook publishing?
Thank you,
--
