[FM Discuss] FM in Safari Books

[Andy Oram]

Yes, each XML file represents one chapter.

I don't know much about XSLT, but I can think of two complications:

1. So long as our XHTML is correctly structured, the only unstructured elements are sections. You have to recognize each title as the start of a section and nest subsections within this section.

2. I think our XHTML is actually incorrect in one way: list items don't contain <p> tags. It's important for listitems in DocBook to contain paragraphs. The same for notes, sidebars--almost everything.

I'm definitely interested in transforms - have done some in the past and want to keep my skills up. Do you know if each xml file is a chapter in Safari?

hey 

We have had an offer to put the forthcoming Command Line Introduction 
manual into Safari books. It needs to be in Docbook... 

anyone keen to try some XSLT transformations of an existing manual 
(xhtml->docbook) so i can send Safari a sample?
