As usually, everything is available under ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/docbook-tools/new-trials or one of its mirrors. The supported versions of the DTD include only DocBook 4.1 for the moment. The conversion is still done through the DSSSL style sheets. Andrey and I are currently evaluating the best tools to process through XSL style sheets, with the help of Norm. The docbook-utils detect automatically that the processed file is an XML file so the process is fully transparent. In case the automated detection would not work, you can use a new "--dcl" option to specify the SGML declaration to use. This new feature works even if it's not a XML document of course. The modified packages are: - sgml-common-0.4: now includes the SGML declaration for XML the ISO entities have been patched to support the new "euro" character - docbook-dtd41-xml-1.0: the XML DTD for DocBook - docbook-utils-6.0: support for XML new --dcl option Enjoy! ;-) Any feedback welcome, of course.
