XML/SGML vocabulary particularly well suited to books and papers about
computer hardware and software.</p><p>xsltproc and libxslt are not specifically dependant on DocBook, but since
a lot of people use xsltproc and libxml2 for DocBook formatting, here are a
few pointers and information which may be helpful:</p><ul>
  <li>The <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/docbook/">DocBook
    homepage at Oasis</a> you should find pointers there on all the lastest
    versions of the DTDs and XSLT stylesheets</li>
  <li><a href="http://www.docbook.org/">DocBook: The Definitive Guide</a> is
    the official reference documentation for DocBook.</li>
  <li><a href="https://sourceforge.net/docman/index.php?group_id=21935">DocBook
    Open Repository</a> contains a lot of information about DocBook</li>
  <li>Bob Stayton provides a <a href="http://www.sagehill.net/">lot of
    resources</a> and consulting services around DocBook.</li>
  <li>Here is a <a href="/buildDocBookCatalog">shell script</a> to generate
    XML Catalogs for DocBook 4.1.2 . If it can write to the /etc/xml/
    directory, it will set-up /etc/xml/catalog and /etc/xml/docbook based on
    the resources found on the system. Otherwise it will just create
    ~/xmlcatalog and ~/dbkxmlcatalog and doing:
    <p><code>export XMLCATALOG=$HOME/xmlcatalog</code></p>
    <p>should allow to process DocBook documentations without requiring
    network accesses for the DTd or stylesheets</p>
  </li>
  <li>I have uploaded <a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/test/dbk412catalog.tar.gz">a
    small tarball</a> containing XML Catalogs for DocBook 4.1.2 which seems
    to work fine for me too</li>
  <li>Informations on installing a <a href="http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/CygwinPackages">Windows
    DocBook processing setup</a> based on Cygwin (using the binaries from the
    official Windows port should be possible too)</li>
  <li>Alexander Kirillov's page on <a href="http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~kirillov/dbxml/">Using DocBook XML
    4.1.2</a> (RPM packages)</li>
  <li>Tim Waugh's <a href="http://cyberelk.net/tim/xmlto/">xmlto front-end
    conversion script</a></li>
  <li>Linux Documentation Project <a href="http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/DocBook-Install/">
    DocBook-Install-mini-HOWTO</a></li>
  <li>ScrollKeeper the open documentation cataloging project has a <a href="http://scrollkeeper.sourceforge.net/docbook.shtml">DocBook
    section</a></li>
  <li>Dan York presentation on <a href="http://www.lodestar2.com/people/dyork/talks/2001/xugo/docbook/index.html">Publishing
    using DocBook XML</a></li>
</ul><p>Do not use the --docbook option of xsltproc to process XML DocBook
documents, this option is only intended to provide some (limited) support of
the SGML version of DocBook.</p><p>Points which are not DocBook specific but still worth mentionning
again:</p><ul>
  <li>if you think DocBook processing time is too slow, make sure you have
    XML Catalogs pointing to a local installation of the DTD of DocBook.
    Check the <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/catalog.html">XML Catalog page</a>
    to understand more on this subject.</li>
  <li>before processing a new document, use the command
    <p><code>xmllint --valid --noout path_to_document</code></p>
    <p>to make sure that your input is valid DocBook. And fixes the errors
    before processing further. Note that XSLT processing may work correctly
    with some forms of validity errors left, but in general it can give
    troubles on output.</p>
  </li>
