docbook-apps

hi,
I've been using the xslt1 docbook 5 stylesheets for a few years. Works
fine, and I have a medium size customization layer. But the time has come
to rewrite some of my templates (technical debt accrued last year).

I wonder about switching to the xslt2 stylesheets since I'm recoding anyway.
Has anyone been through the process and have any comments or tips?

thanks,
--Tim

Hi again,
Just checking to make sure--is nobody on the list using the XSLT2.0
stylesheets in production yet?

I'm pretty conservative when it comes to code changes and I don't want to
be on the bleeding edge!


thanks,
--Tim

AFAIK (speak up Jirka!) they have not been completely ported to XSLT 2.0
Most, but not all of the templates.

If you want to help???

regards

Thanks for that info Dave. I have to say I'm more of an XSLT user than a
programmer.
I guess I'll stick with 1.0 for now.

thanks,

Norm is one who wrote most of them, so you should ask him ;-)

You should give it a try. There is no 1:1 correspondence between
available features -- there are some features missing in XSLT 2.0 based
stylesheets, but also there many new ones. Depends on what you need.
I think that if you target HTML output then you should be in general
satisfied with XSLT 2.0 stylesheets. XSLT 2.0 stylesheets for XSL-FO has
never been finished.

Hey Jirka,
Thanks. I only use DocBook to go to html5 (using latex for pdf instead of
fo). I'll give it a try.
If I get everything working for production documentation workflow, I'll
repost here.

thanks!

Guess please? Norm, Jirka
html: 80% finished?
PDF: 50%

Any better guesses
