Hi,Over the past eight years I have been using Docbook in Debian 5.0 and 6.0 with the script "jw".I received an information that the script "jw" uses DSSSL stylesheets and that it is obsolete and limited.Would be better to migrate to XSL-based system and use XSL stylesheets.But I'm just a user of Docbook with jw script (a handy tool) and don't know the structure of the DocBook files and programs.Does anyone could suggest a step by step for me to do this migration?Should I have to migrate to newer versions of Debian or just install some packages in my Debian Squeeze?
What output format do you want? For HTML, simply running a XSLT processor (such as the one in package xsltproc) against the stylesheet (contained in package docbook-xsl for Docbook 5 or docbook-xsl-ns for Docbook 5) is enough. See the documentation for the packages for a list of available stylesheets.
For other formats I cannot help you much, but I believe the first step is similar: use a stylesheet to convert the docboock source to an intermediate format, which is then processed by specific tools to generate the final output.
