Docbook NJIN released to create PDF files
16/09/07 08:42 Filed in: docbook
This free
software allows windows users to simply drag and drop
a docbook XML file onto it to create a PDF output.
Example files are included to see how easy it can
be. There is no XML validation so invalid files
will give you an error.
It includes a java runtime (jre1.4.2) to run the apache FOP (0.94) software and the docbook xsl stylesheets (1.72.0). This software is still under active development and can be downloaded HERE.
Here are some limitations to keep in mind (aside from it being a work in progress
* modular documents are supported when listed as entities
* relative file references must use "file://"
* a root book element must have an id if the page links are going to work.
* currently XML files should be put in their own directory in the Njin folder
* docbook 5 is currently not supported

xml2html project for Realbasic
01/01/07 08:43 Filed in: xml
Realbasic,
while having great database and interface graphic
design does not offer a lot of tools with the title
"Report printer". However it does supply some useful
tools to output your report data (listboxes, database
queries, arrays and dictionaries for example) to xml.
Then what do you do? Well, by building an xsl text file to transform it to HTML you can then use the built-in html viewer to preview the report and save it as an html file for printing or export to PDF. With a little bit of CSS styling this can actually look pretty good. I made a sample project to show how this can work. It is available in the Download section of the website and is titled xml2html example. Precompiled binaries for Windows and MacOSX are included.
