RE: [docbook-apps] RE: Sample/Example XSLT files for PDF conversion?

["Fiedler, Tristan" <fiedler at cshl dot edu>]

 The superbe tutorial at http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ has a great
deal about print output options.

I use this daily, and perhaps it may be of use.

Cheers,

Tristan Fiedler

Hello Avi MIller,

I have an example project you might be interested in. You
can download it from:
http://www.getnet.net/~swhitlat

You must follow the DocBook link on the left (old-style
homepage that still uses frames).

I should tell you early, this project is far from perfect.
So, it is not offered as a sterling example of how to
correctly format DocBook XML, but rather I offer it in the
possibility that it can help beginners. The document uses
SVG graphics and special fonts, which complicates things
with FOP.

Please feed back to me any corrections.

Steve Whitlatch
