Writing documentation with DocBook-XML 4.3 | |
This document assumes that you have XEP, a commercial product from RenderX. DocBook can also be processed using an open-source product, FOP from Apache.
The Tech Computer Center no longer supports the locally customized DocBook installation that works with FOP, but it is still available.
The software is generally reliable, but has the following specific limitations and problems.
These features of XEP won't work in the FOP toolchain:
You can't use any of the common entities such as

Graphics in PNG format are not supported.
User-defined entities will not work.
