Re: PDF output for Xerces-C/J docs available for viewing
Mike,
I think your PDF looks great! How about putting the XML -> FO stylesheets
you use in CVS so the rest of us can try generating PDF doc without having
to recreate the stylesheets? I see that you've added dtd subdirs to
xml-xerces/j/docs and xml-xerces/c/docs. Please add a stylesheets dir with
the stylesheets. I understand that you have removed the sbk protocol from
your xml sources (and are not using Stylebook) to generate the PDF. I think
that's all I need to know, although a copy of your "small Java program
that drives FOP" wouldn't hurt! Thanks -- Don Leslie

The source files are Stylebook XML. The same files that
are used to generate the HTML xml.apache.org website.
They are run through a small Java program that drives FOP, using
XSLT stylesheets to transform from Stylebook XML to XSLFO. Then,
after processing through FOP, we get PDF!
So, we essentially have a single XML source, that generates either
nice navigable HTML, or nice printable PDF.
Something like this (hope this picture comes out OK!):
Stylebook XML ---+----- stylesheets ---> HTML website with navigation
|
+---- other stylesheets ----> XSLFO ---- FOP -------> PDF

Donald,
Jordan is at Java One this morning, so I'll respond for him on this one...
IBM does intend to contribute this stuff to Apache, but we need to get approval
(basically IP clearance) first, and we're in the process of doing that now.
Also, I think Jordan is still using Stylebook (with one minor modification,
I think?) to do the XML --> HTML generation, and the "small Java program" to drive the
XML --> PDF process. The input XML source is the same for both.
