RE: DOCBOOK: Altova AUTHENTIC - is now Free

[David Cramer <dcramer at motive dot com>]

When the license manager app starts, click the "Purchase" button. It
will take you to a page where you can "Purchase" Authentic for free (you
have to enter an email address). They'll email you a key.

I'm poking around in it now with a small doc. From what I can tell the
".sps" file for docbook (a set of instructions that tells Authentic how
to present an instance of docbook) isn't written all that well, but
you'll get the idea--it's a way to create forms/templates for
non-xml-aware content providers. Does anybody have/know of a better
DocBook.sps than the one provided? I can imagine each user would need to
customize it to some degree, but I think there could be a better
starting point (for example, insert an <important> and you're invited to
add a <title>, but I can't seem to get it to let me insert a <para>?!?).


The real test will be when I try opening one of our big docs in it... 

David

Are you sure it's free ? What I could download on their site is not free
at
all, it's just a 30-day free evaluation, that I can't even launch
because I
already tried it a few months ago.

Cheers,
