Emacs has AucTex (which I've been using for about twelve years now 8-), and there even are visual editors for TeX[1], but I never tried them. While at a former job I wrote an Ant task to run LaTeX (as often as needed), I should be able to re-invent it rather quickly. Creating HTML or XSL:FO from docbook is a matter of running XSLT which is trivial using Ant. Apache FOP comes with an Ant task to create PDF (and RTF?) from FO. > I'll have a look at what's currently in CVS with a view to > contributing a DocBook version of some of it, Maybe you could just start with a section or two like I did for the LaTeX case. That way we may have a basis to compare things. Stefan Footnotes: [1] for example http://www.lyx.org/ |
