Subject:Good XML list for n00bs? From:John Cornellier <jcornellier -at- abingdon -dot- oilfield -dot- slb -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Fri, 16 Dec 2005 10:24:42 +0000
Hi all,
We're writing a lot of documentation in XML. Some of our implementation
is homebrew, and I'd like to find a good forum for relative beginners.
The basic workflow writing a lot of XML containing a lot of MathML
(probably Epic / MathFlow), validated against a DTD (probably a subset
of Docbook), then processed through XSLT (Antenna?) to PDF.
I've got the equation editing part under control, my next challenge is
to reder the MathML into PDF. Failing that, HTML is Plan B.
All suggestions welcome, but preferably an XML list focused on doc
implementations.
John
