&gt; Since the DocBook XML files are (IIRC) XSL files and there are &quot;no
&gt; seriously reliable XSL FO&quot; tools, then isn't the answer to &quot;Can I
&gt; print DocBook XML?&quot; also &quot;no&quot;?
It is often said, specially in marketing publications, that you need XSL to do
anything with XML.
THIS IS PURE BULLSHIT!
XML is a subset of SGML. You can use any SGML tool, like jade, which I use to
process my DocBook/XML files.
Also, you can use custom programs written with the SAX or the DOM APIs, for
which implementations exist for many programming languages.
&gt; Maybe I am just getting lost in acronyms again. The real question I
&gt; want to answer is must simpler: Given a DocBook XML source file, what
&gt; are the shell commands to generate a printable output at least as good
&gt; as DocBook SGML through jadetex?
Exactly the same :-)
