We have a feature request to provide PDF version of the docs:
http://objectstyle.org/jira/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=CAY-144
This would be a very nice thing to have for a lot of people (myself
included). As our doc sources are in XML, we can convert them to
anything (in theory)... in practice PDF generation tools like FOP are
very involved. I looked at how others do it and for instance Spring
uses an XSL they borrowed from Hibernate... So we can adopt the same
procedure. The only caveat is that it requires sources to be in a
DocBook DTD compliant format (http://www.docbook.org/)... As our source
XML is basically a subset of XHTML (title, body, p, ul, li, a, strong,
code, i, b) with a few custom tags (document, section, subsection,
source), we can in turn create another XSLT that transforms them to
docbook format...
Anyone with any docbook experience who is willing to help us design
such an XSL transform? Please let me know.
