Dick, thanks, that does help. So do some of the off-list suggestions about svn, batch files, and letting content writers focus on content (versus processing). I have that book in my interlibrary loan queue but think I will actually buy it!

Karen,
Here is a
description of setting up xslt from Bob Stayton's
DocBook XSL:
The Complete Guide. I have only used the Linux
description,
but I think the windows version works well, too.

If you plan
to do much with DocBook XSL, his book is a
must have.
It will help you with your "hackfest." You can
start with
the online version, but the print is worth
having.

Hope that

Subject:
[docbook-apps] Question about XSLT processors
I'm
following instructions for Windows on this page:
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=documentation:setting_up_docbook_transforms
I've
made it through all the steps, but I have to tell you these instructions feel
like they have a high kludge factor to them -- lots of typing, command-line
stuff, etc. -- and as a newbie I wondered if there were better tools.
(By the way, I have committed to holding two "hackfest" sessions on
Docbook at our upcoming Evergreen conference, so I have about 90 days to
actually learn enough to stay ahead of a group of folks ;) ... no pressure
there, eh)
