What is the difference between XSL/Apache fop and docbook/Jade ?
Hi !
I want to use documentation generation technologies, but I'm new to this domain.
Both bocbook/Jade and XSL/ApacheFOP seems interresting.
Both have XML input, both can generate HTML, PDF, PostScript, RTF...
What is the difference between these two approach ? Are they equivalent ?
Many thanks
Xavier Raynaud

Docbook will create an XSL stylesheet that generates XSL-FO for
processing through FOP. However FOP isnt fully compliant with the XSL-FO
spec and depending on your docbook definition you may run into problems.
