Subject: Docbook and Context
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2004 09:14:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200411150914.49892.john@wexfordpress.com> (raw)

There appear to be two programs dealing with conversion of XML Docbook 
documents to Context, "Docbook in Context" and XSLT.  the former has not 
been updated recently and the latter has documentation dating to 2001. I 
have a potential customer who is XML conversant and wants me to set up his 
document. He will provide it in Docbook format apparently. He has not 
written it yet.  

My question: Are either of the existing tools stable, reliable and complete 
enough for me to take on this task?  Which is recommended for a one-time 
project? What do I need from my customer in addition to the base file of 
the document? 

I have no interest in becoming an XML guru---I just want to bid on this job 
if that makes sense or give the customer a no-bid if I am about to step in 
a swamp.
