Re: [docbook-apps] Customizing and creating a stylesheet for docbook using the XML Mind or Oxygen XML Editor
Hi Daniel,

    

    the reference book for DocBook XSL customization is "DocBook XSL:
    The Complete Guide" http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/

    

    You should find there all you need and more.

    Hello,
      

      

      currently my company is thinking about transferring
        its
        user documentation into XML and docbook.
      

      Since we are an IT company, XML and programming in
        general
        is not a problem. But: We cannot find and adjust the stylesheet
        needed
        to create our custom documentation.
      

      We are currently setting up a prototype for our
        documentation,
        following the instructions from Walsh´s "DocBook 5: The
        definitive
        Guide" and working with the XML Mind Editor and a trial version
        of
        "OXYGEN Editor".
      

      

      Basically, we are satisfied with the results and
        trust
        in docbooks function (since having lots of trouble with Word),
        but the
        lacking transparency makes
        it really hard to come up with a sample documentation/ prototype
        .Each
        file we open has at least one reference to a website we cannot
        open and
        dozens of files that don´t exist or are really hard to find. We
        checked
        the regular docbook.zip from the docbook homepage, but also all
         files
        of the respective editors. (Is there something as a "default"
        Docbook editor that you would propose?)
      

      

      Can anyone give me some advice, a link or even a
        how-to
        for adjusting the docbook stylesheet? Personally, I would love
        to use docbook
        for our user documentation, simply for the additional features
        it has compared
        to other text processing program, but only if I can adjust the
        appearance.
        Especially regarding corporate identity this is absolutely
        necessary.
      

      

      Thanks and with best regards,
