Re: [docbook-apps] Converting docbook on the fly with apache


Take a look at Cocoon 2 from http://apache.org. It is a big powerful
application framework, but it isn't too hard to set up its pipeline system
to process DocBook XML files with the XSL stylesheets.  It does caching.
You'll need Java, though.  You might want to get a third-party book such as
the Cocoon Developer's Handbook to help you get started.
