Docbook instead of document-v11?
Hi,
is there an easy way to use Docbook XML as the documentation type
instead of the new document-v11? We have started documenting our
Cocoon project in docbook but would definitely want to take the
advantage of the possibilities the Forrest project offers (without
having to stop using the authoring environments we have managed to
build for docbook).
Perhaps a XSL style sheet that would transform docbook to document-v11
could do the trick? However, implementing a XSL stylesheet that would
support even most of the docbook DTD and document-v11 DTD would be
quite huge task so we're not able to allocate resources for such
tasks. Instead, we are looking for something more complete (or
faster/easier to implement).
Sincerely,
Keijo Lehto

Try adding:

And then request http://localhost:8080/forrest/body-index.xml and see
what the intermediate XML output is. If it looks good, move the
serializer down one. I suspect that path is wrong..
Or talk Nicola into committing his Docbook stuff into into a branch.

I tried this to get docbook to use the standard docbook stylesheets but
no luck
<!-- if the file is present as dbk, use the docbook stylesheets... -->
<map:act type="resource-exists">
<map:parameter name="url" value="content/xdocs/{1}.dbk" />
<map:generate src="content/xdocs/{../1}.dbk" />
<map:transform
src="file://P:/xml/docbook-xsl-1.60.1/docbook-xsl-1.60.1/xhtml/docbook.xsl"
/>
<map:transform src="library/xslt/html2htmlbody.xsl" />
<map:transform type="linkrewriter" src="cocoon:/linkmap" />
<map:serialize type="xml" />
</map:act>
Any Ideas?
I don't really know what I am doing. but I am trying.
R,

To get you started, if you are happy with plain content
with no headers or menus, then this previous email will
help. The only catch is that we needed to put a hard-coded
file:// url in the project sitemap.xmap to point to
the local docbook stylesheets.

There is already a library/xslt/docbook2document.xsl stylesheet that
attempts a conversion. Right now, out intermediate format (doc-v11)
needs loosening up before it can accommodate full Docbook.
If you don't mind losing PDFs, it would be fairly easy to generate HTML
directly from the Docbook using the docbook.sf.net stylesheets, and then
merging it with the Forrest header and menus. It would be only one step
beyond Forrest's existing *.ehtml handling (raw HTML + headers + menus).
