>The DocBook DTD itself is maintained by the DocBook Technical

Committee, headed by Norman Walsh. Norm is the principal author of

the DocBook stylesheets, a man who has focused remarkable energy and
|
|
talent over many years on the extremely complex problems DocBook
|
|
addresses. He is as universally respected in the DocBook
|

community as Linus Torvalds is in the Linux world.</P

>libxslt</A

|
|
library that interprets XSLT, applying stylesheets to XML documents.
|
|
It includes a wrapper program, <B

CLASS="command"
|
|
>xsltproc</B
|
|
>, that can be
|
|
used as an XML formatter. The code was written by Daniel Veillard
|
|
under the auspices of the GNOME project, but does not require any
|
|
GNOME code to run. I hear it's blazingly fast compared to the
|
|
Java alternatives, not a surprising claim.</P
