[ANN] Early release of "cop-e-boox" customized DocBook stylesheets - your feedback appreciated

I have been developing stylesheets to produce PDF, EPUB 3 and HTML5
    web pages, and would like to release them for the interest of
    DocBook developers. This is a near-final version that includes an
    innovative visual interface to the stylesheets using SVG. I'm very
    aware of usability testing before a product goes to market, so (in
    the spirit of "free-range" user testing) I'd like to get people's
    opinions about whether it's easy to use and covers features for
    basic ebook production. Please enjoy!

    

    
    
Cop-e-boox is a bundle of customised stylesheets to
      produce ebook
      formats from structured XML files. It is an open-source package
      for structured
      single-source publishing, which lets you set up document styles to
      produce PDF,
      EPUB 3.0 and HTML5 (web page) ebook formats. You can think of
      cop-e-boox as a
      typesetting package for XML content that allows you to easily set
      up page
      layout and document structure, and change text and graphics
      styles. Cop-e-boox
      is designed as an entry-level starter kit for single-source
      desktop publishing
      and aims to provide a learning tool as an introduction to the
      technologies used
      for digital publishing with XML.

    
 

    
INSTALLATION

    
1. In a web browser go to the URL:
      http://xmleditoz.net.au/copeboox/copeboox-master.zip.

    
2. Download the zipped file "copeboox-master.zip" (38Mb)
      to a
      temporary location on your computer's file system (e.g. Desktop).
    

    
3. Unzip the folder copeboox-master.zip and extract all
      files to a
      directory that you have read and write access to. This will create
      a new
      directory /copeboox-master, which contains all components of
      cop-e-boox.

    
4. In your computer system's file manager, open the
      directory
      /copeboox-master. 

    
5. In a web browser open the file
      "start-here-for-everything.html". That file has an overview of all
      components of cop-e-boox.
