The reason I went for Debian is that the DTDs for XML and SGML are already
packaged. apt-get update will keep them all fresh instead of me looking
for packages.
I've got two VERY simple PHP scripts. Each take a look at the filename extension
to determine if it's an XML or SGML file. validate.php sends the file
to nsgmls, db2pdf sends it to jade, then ldp_print, creating an LDP-looking
PDF document, which you can download immediately.
I haven't looked at the security of this, as I'm not sure if system calls
can be placed in SGML code and let someone run arbitrary code. If you'd
like the code, I can send it to you for review.
Longer term, I'd like to support multiple files and images, but I have to
figure out how I want to do that.
