Re: free/open documentation formats
Hey, thank you all for your reply.
Regarding PDF/PostScript that was exactly what i was thinking of, the
LZW compression. But good to hear it is possible to avoid this
compression.
Regarding the authoring tools, i am using a selfmade XML format that i
transform into XHTML using XSL Templates. Then i want to convert the
docs to the target formats by using any html2* tools. I tried DocBook
SGML a bit (aren't the HOWTOs written this way?), but it did not meet
my fits, a friend working with LaTeX told me about that and i realized
this is also not the thing i wanted (although all of them are great
formats, i decided to create this custom XML formats to fulfill all my
needs, cos i did not only need a good documentation format but also a
format that supports some web- and CGI specific issues).
By the way, can create XSLT more than HTML/WML output, mean docs like
PDF, RTF (mh...) with evtl. binary data, not only markup languages?
Does anyone know?
Thnk you and greetings,
Timo
