dblatex (DocBook to LaTeX Publishing)
|
|
|
|
Dblatex started as a DB2LaTeX clone, but since then many things have
|
|
changed and new features have been added or (hopefully) improved. Now,
|
|
the portion of shared code is small if any, and the dblatex purpose is
|
|
different from DB2LaTeX on these points:
|
|
* The project is end-user oriented, that is, it tries to hide as much
|
|
as possible the latex compiling stuff by providing a single clean
|
|
script to produce directly DVI, PostScript and PDF output.
|
|
* The actual output rendering is done not only by the XSL stylesheets
|
|
transformation, but also by a dedicated LaTeX package. The goal is to
|
|
allow a deep LaTeX customisation without changing the XSL stylesheets.
|
|
* Post-processing is done by Python, to make publication faster,
|
|
convert the images if needed, and do the whole compilation.
