Subject: Book split to several books

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0007151938470.855-100000@laptop.linus.dk> (raw)
Aaah it seems that the storm has cleared up, and the
little guys can ask tech questions again ... :)
I have been using Docbook for two years now - been
writing the largest Danish Linux book using
Docbook. Many people (>150) have helped this project,
so the result is that the book now is 350 pages if I
cut all margins to a minimum. It is too big IMHO.
Now I have to split the book into 4-5 parts, but I like
feedback on how to do this in an optimal way. My
problem is that I have many cross-references which will
suffer from the split.
I have looked into using <part> which presumably
enables me to keep correct cross-references, but I
really would like to compile the sub-books
individually now - currently it takes too much time to
make PS, PDF, and HTML.
Any clues on how to proceed in splitting books in
practice could help.
BR
