docbook-apps

Hi,

I have a small XSLT stylesheet that may be of use to others. It transforms a
DocBook file into a dependency list that make can include via the "-include"
command (only tested with GNU make so far). With it, one can autogenerate
DocBook dependencies, much like gcc -M does.

You can also pull out a list of all graphic files, either all of them or those
with a specific format attribute. This helps with install-like targets that
copy all corresponding graphics to a target directory.

Is this of interest? If so, I'll put it up somewhere.

Cheers,

Paul.

Yep, definitely of interest.

OK,

See:
http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/
(at the end of the "Code" list), which points to:
http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/XSLT/dependency.xsl

Please feel free to take and use it however you want.

If you enhance the XSLT, please let me know so I can update the version of the
page.

I'm still new to XSLT, so comments on general style and specific improvements
would be nice.

Cheers,

Paul.
