Summary of change:
'''Developer notes on publishing GenBoard/Manual''' * SVN and HTML have been updated as of 20061128. Please review HTML output and manual.xml to be sure HTML output is correct and complete. * To update HTML, execute buildmanual.xml from /svn/manual directory ---- '''Other output formats''' Producing formatted output is fairly easy with the XML files. Currently we've got chunked HTML and PDF output working: * HTML is produced by running a slightly tweaked !DocBook transform. We use a file called vems.xsl which sets the stylesheet then imports the standard chunk.xsl. The output can be seen [http://www.vems.hu/docs/genboardv3/ here]. * PDF is produced by running the fo/docbook.xsl transform to make a FO (Formatting Object) file, then using [http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html Apache FOP] to convert this to PDF. There are other options for output such as PS, PCL, and even SVG, but PDF is the most useful to us. We'll probably make a custom XSL for this conversion too, so we can tweak the output to our needs. A "first cut" example of the PDF output is [http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/RichardBarrington/manual.pdf here] (781 kB PDF file). ** fo/docbook.xsl does not exist on new server. Can somone please copy it over to the new server? ---- '''See also''' * GenBoard/Manual
Optional: Add document to category:
Wiki formatting: * is Bullet list ** Bullet list subentry ... '''Bold''', ---- is horizontal ruler, <code> preformatted text... </code> See wiki editing HELP for tables and other formatting tips and tricks.
