To better understand how to work with DocBook, I'd like to suggest that you check out ZooLib's DocBook documentation from its SourceForge CVS, and use my work as an example to help you with your work. I just went through the whole painful process of getting it all to work. Please learn from my example! See especially the files: zoolib/doc/README.txt zoolib/doc/cookbook/Makefile zoolib/doc/xml/catalogs/catalog-macports.xml zoolib/doc/xml/xsl/pdf.xsl zoolib/doc/xml/xsl/xhtml.xsl Just reading my wonderful new README.txt will likely save you all a whole world of hurt - just think of how I suffered so you won't have to! To get ZooLib via anonymous CVS, do the following - Just press return when it asks for a password: cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/zoolib login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/zoolib co -P zoolib/doc If you follow the instructions in the README.txt, you can then do: cd zoolib/doc/cookbook make and you'll get the XHTML versions, and both US Letter and A4 PDFs saved into the zoolib/doc/cookbook/cookbook directory. Please understand that the reason I'm posting this is to give you a current, debugged example of publishing DocBook documents - not to get you working on ZooLib's documentation! I hope this helps.
