Introduction
DocBook is an SGML application
developed to markup documents, just like HTML marks up webdocuments.
This test article contains the examples from the LinuxFocus
article "Making PDF documents with DocBook".
Example
Make sure to notice that this document makes recursive use
of the section element.
Adding examples
Perl program that converts an XML document into a HTML page.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use diagnostics;
use strict;
use XML::XSLT;
my $XSLTparser = XML::XSLT->new();
$XSLTparser->open_project ("file.xml", "stylesheet.xsl",
"FILE", "FILE");
$XSLTparser->process_project;
$XSLTparser->print_result();
Adding lists
an item
another item
and again an item
Conclusion
DocBook is a powerfull tool to develop books and articles.
The PDF export function, moreover, works very well.
