If you mean Postscript/PDF output: Unicode Explained (Jukka K. Korpela) http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/unicode/ The source for that book was written in DocBook, and the open-source DocBook Project stylesheets were used to generate the XSL-FO output from which the Postscript for it was made. O'Reilly has since published at least three other books so far using XSL-FO output from the DocBook stylesheets. That said, I don't think an open-source XSL-FO engine was used to generate the Postscript output. Apache FOP no any of the open-source XSL-FO engines are anywhere close to being capable of generating production-quality output (unless you hobble your DocBook source to work around their limitations). But there are some proprietary XSL-FO engines that are very good. RenderX XEP is one of them: http://renderx.com/ As far as I know, they will provide a licensed copy to all developers of open-source applications who want to use XEP to generate PDF/Postscript output of the documentation for their applications. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://www.w3.org/People/Smith/ _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
