docbook: Thread: TLDP-XSL stylesheets updated

Hi Everyone,

There is an updated XSL stylesheet package available from 
http://my.core.com/~dhorton/docbook/tldp-xsl/ if anyone is interested in 
trying it.  The file name is: tldp-xsl-10JUL2003.tar.gz

There are some changes to the HTML producing stylesheets as well as a 
newly created tldp-print.xsl stylesheet.  The tldp-print stylesheet 
produces formatting objects (FO) that can be converted into PDF, plain 
text or whatever using an FO processor.

Feedback is appreciated.

Dave

I'd be interested in trying the tldp-print stylesheet, but I haven't 
found the right combination of RPMs/Packages to get FO to work.  I've 
tried several times with RH 7.3, RH 9.0 and even Windows.

BTW, I'm coordinating documentation on an Open Source project using a 
group of folks primarily running Windows with the eNovative package. 
So getting FO to work on Windows would be a real plus.

We're using the tldp style sheets.

Any help out there?

Yes.  Since the tldp stylesheets are a customization
of the DocBook XSL stylesheets, this URL should provide
you with lots of help.

In particular, see Chapter 3.
