Re: [docbook-apps] anyone have a windows-based publishing infrastructure?

Robert,

I can recommend using Cygwin for processing Docbook on Windows platforms. You get the xml-dtd, the xsl stylesheets, xmllint, xsltproc and xmlto as Cygwin packages. If you want pdf processing as well, you have to additionally install Passivetex and XmlTex, which works smoothly. I've posted a howto some time ago here: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/docbook-apps/2003-q3/msg00398.html

Alternatively, you can also give Igor Zlatkovic's Windows port of the libxml and libxslt packages (xmllint and xsltproc) a try. Additionally you need to download the xml-dtd and xsl stylesheets from sourceforge and install libiconv, also available from Igor's site http://www.zlatkovic.com/projects/index.html. I'm not using them for my work, but when I gave them a try, they worked pretty well.


HTH,
Patrick

  does anyone on this list have this up and running?  that is, a
windows setup with all of the prerequisite XML/docbook/XSLT/FO/HTML/PDF
tools?  if so, drop me a note, i'd like to know more.
