ant tasks for converting from docbook ?

[Ronald Johnson <rj...@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

what are the "standard" (i.e. the tasks many people use) for
converting docbook to html/pdf ?
What library is most common used for this task (or is it possible to
do it with the tasks that are delivered with ant?)

If anyone have examples I would be greatful,

RJ

  <tstamp>
    <format property="fintim" pattern="E @ H:m a" locale="en,UK"/>

  <echo>Finished at ${fintim}</echo>
</target>


Provides a chunked html output.

<target name="fo" depends="init, validate, clean.pdf">
<echo>Generate the fo output</echo>
<java classname="${xslt.processor.class}"
      fork="yes"
      dir="${in.dir}"
      failonerror="true">
  <classpath refid="xslt.processor.classpath" />
  <jvmarg value="-Dorg.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration=org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeParserConfiguration"/>
  <jvmarg value="-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl"/>
  <jvmarg value="-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl"/>
<arg value="-l"/>
  <arg value="-o"/>
  <arg value="${out.fo.dir}/${main.fo.outfile}"/>
  <arg value="-x"/>
  <arg value="org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader"/>
  <arg value="-y"/>
  <arg value="org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader"/>
  <arg value="-r"/>
  <arg value="org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver"/>
  <arg value="${in.dir}/${main.infile}"/>
  <arg value="${main.fo.stylesheet}" />
</java>
</target>

Provides the fo output. Calling fop is easier than xep or ah.
