Other messages indicate it > is quite fast, and that it handles docbook. I tested it. I'm quite ignorant about "KDE using libxslt for their next release". Perharps indirectly, through Scrollkeepr. Perharps for the upcoming DocBook browser, I don't know. Coolo? I only know that Coolo (at KDE) has recently set up a system named "poxml" which allows us to translate docs using the xgettext/msgmerge mechanism (po files used as a translation memory). This system is meant to allow easiest updates of DocBook documentation translations. This system is based, if I remember correctly, on libxml, which is the basement for libxslt. I plan to package xalan/xerces as part of the docbook-tools project. You don't need java, excepted for printed output (though FOP). Jade is also fine, but it isn't XSL style sheets but DSSSL ones. > > > I'm putting together the Darwin Documentation Project, and have been playing > > > with various DocBook XML solutions for a few months.
