[publican-list] Tips on How to best use Publican / Docbook

[norman@dunbar-it.co.uk]

I use Xml Mind's XXE which used to offer a free for Open Source version. Sadly they changed this recently and now offer a trial version instead, which is time limited.

I write docs for the Firebird Database
Project, and we use the last free version.

I suspect if you search for "free Xie" then you will most likely find it.

It is nearly WYSIWYG but not quite as the on screen rendering uses a local copy of DocBook XSL which is not the one that Publican uses. But it's good enough.

It also allows you to access the raw XML as well, should you need to.

If you can find version 5, you should be good to go.

Good luck.

Norm.

Dear all,
I am looking for a good free editor GUI and Wysiwyg if possible to write some documentation on Publican.I am quite disappointed that serna-free is not available anymore, can you please recommend what you think is the best option?
Many thanks for your help and kind regards,Frederic

Hi Frederic

It depends on how you like to write your XML. 


Do you like to work with raw XML and see the code (sounds like you do)?  Or do you like to have an abstracted view and get a WYSIWYG view of your XML? 

If you prefer a GUI style, then I'll put a vote in for Serna Free. http://www.syntext.com/products/serna-free/


I've done video tutorials about how to use it. More tutorials will be done when I get a chance. https://vimeo.com/groups/111908

Hi everybody,


I am new to Publican and I am seeking some practical advice on how to best use Publican and Docbook.

Could you please share your experience and any tips and tricks?

Also another question is which IDE are you using? I am using emacs at the moment with nXML plugin but I have not found a quick and easy way to write tags and to maybe automatically close them...



Many thanks for your help and keep up the good work!

Regards,
