[postgis-devel] PostGIS Development Roadmap

[Obe, Regina]

As a side note.  Has anyone used the save as Docbook feature of
OpenOffice Writer.
  
I've been using OpenOffice Writer a lot lately because I love the Export
to PDF feature that creates PDFs with Bookmarks in it and just noticed
it has a Save As DocBook option.

Unfortunately the particular document I was experimenting with to export
to DocBook I guess has too many colorful diagrams and so forth so it
fails the Save As DocBook feature. 

I suppose that could be as simple as tweaking the XSLT DocBook filter in
OpenOffice or does DocBook not support images?

Thanks,
Regina

To paraphrase (well, completely reverse) Mark Antony; I come not to
bury docbook but to praise it...

It's the right solution, the problem is in the XSLT transform and/or
style-sheets.  Apply yourself to the transform, and you'll be richly
rewarded, and as a bonus we can always apply other transforms for
other purposes.  The PostgreSQL documentation is a slightly nicer
example of docbook sourced pages.  O'Reilly books are another.  The
docbook book on the RRI bookshelf is a third.
