Re: [LARTC] DocBook testing

["Oskar Andreasson" <blueflux@koffein.net>]

Hi All,

Sent this to the wrong recepients the first time around and just noticed that it hadn't gone through. Anyways, see below.

As for including multiple different pictures that are used depending on the backend, i don't think it is all that impossible. I use the following code to insert images etcetera:

     <para> 
     <mediaobject>
      <imageobject>
       <imagedata fileref="images/tables_traverse.eps" format=eps>
      </imageobject>
      <imageobject>
       <imagedata fileref="images/tables_traverse.jpg" format=jpg>
      </imageobject>
     </mediaobject>
    </para>

DocBook should then try to insert the first imageobject, and if that fails go further down and try the next, and then the next. etcetera. I don't know how well this works together with txt diagrams, but I can't see how this would be any problems.

I hope this is of any help. Now... if anyone would like to help me with changing fonts used within a document=). I've spent some 2 days or so trying to figure it out, and so far I only think it should be done via the DSSSL style sheets however it doesn't work when I do it;). by the by, www.docbook.org is an excellent reference and I definitely recommend buying the book(also available online at the site) which contains a huge and extremely well written reference section to every tag available in docbook v 3.1.

Have a nice day,
