Hi Mittie,

using Maven is a matter of taste but it helps in this case a lot since there is no need to tinker with infrastructure (and there is a lot of infrastructure behind the plugin). I commented out the chapter 9 of the subversion bok and setup a little Maven project.

INSTALL THE PLUGIN ==================================================== run "maven plugin:download -DgroupId=maven-plugins -DartifactId=maven-sdocbook-plugin -Dversion=1.4.1"

CREATE THE DOCUMENTATION ==================================================== run "maven sdocbook" within the project directory to create the HTML and PDF version of the book

Folks, I hate to say it - but this is all you have to do .... :-)

So this would be the road map

+) a final decision to write a book for Canoo WebTest - no matter if it will published on paper or not +) a final decision what document format to use (I would prefer DocBook) +) a final decision what infrastructure to use (I'm obviously biased towards Maven but it is just a tool) +) setting up a SVN or CVS repository +) the usual project plan - who is writing what until when, who has the overall responsibility +) happy writing +) a lot of booze when the book is finished

Cheers,

Siegfried Goeschl

PS: And finally - thanks to Per Olesen and Carlos Sanchez for their beautiful work on the maven-sdocbook-plugin - it works like a charm ... :-)
