#GNOME powers libxml2 powers xsltproc powers #Docbook automation for Ada & Zangemann #FSFE book translation powers the next generation of #FOSS hackers https://git.fsfe.org/FSFE/ada-zangemann So yeah, donations matter! #AdaZangemann
I tried validating #Docbook v5 using #xmllint from #libxml2 via #RelaxNG and #Schematron but wasn't successful. The RNG validation threw unexpected errors and the Schematron validation threw an internal error. It could be my source file, but it seems fine. Does somebody here have a working setup or tips to share?
The more I delve into #Docbook and #XSLT the more I start to love #XML As a source format it can be very expressive and customizable, plus you can reuse standard elements and attributes from others. Follow my journey here: https://git.fsfe.org/FSFE/ada-zangemann/issues/13#issuecomment-36782
I want to spin up replacement mailing lists for #DocBook users now that they won't be hosted by OASIS anymore. (Nevermind that IT chaos at OASIS means none of the lists are working very well.) Is there an ethical open source collective sort of place that will let me pay them to do this? The lists are free for users, of course, and I don't generate any revenue from them, so it would have to be a not too expensive place.
fwiw, I used #DocBook #SGML in #Emacs to generate LaTeX/LilyPond, even when Macmillan demanded I submit MSWord¹ docs, I'd just emit them as an output! Mind you, that was last century, but I'd still do it that way today, if I had to.
