I realize everyone is doing their best. However, this would be amusing if there were not so much at stake.
caveat emptor. who ever said it was all easy?
Seems applicable to the deplorable situation we face in order to get high quality PDF from DocBook Xml.
depends what you mean by "high-quality".some people are more than happy with FOP, others pick holes even in TeX output.
Flames may be in order, but remember I'm a newbie (one month w/ DocBook Xml), I'm in the trenches, and I'm trying to get work done. My focus is end product, not process development.
My belief is that there is no reliable, mature, easy-to-use product to make PDF from Docbook. The nearest might be the Framemaker route, perhaps via DSSSL, I suspect, but even that is a vale full of tears.
face it, getting high-quality typesetting remains hard.
