Heh, well fop is what quickbook recommends and uses

No it isn't.

Well on: http://boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/boostbook/getting/started.html and: http://beta.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/doc/html/boostbook/getting/started.htm... and the auto setup script those pages mention, they all only talk about fop On Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 1:51 AM, Daniel James wrote:

never heard of xep, will it pick it up if I aptitude install it?

No, it's not open source.

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostDocs/GettingStarted#Howtobuildpdf...

If that is the current documentation, then the official docs need to be updated, pretty badly, as linked to above... On Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 1:54 AM, Daniel James wrote:

How can I pull this off?

It's not supported. You'll have to write your code out twice for now. You could implement it yourself if it's really a problem.

Hmm, maybe later, I am not doing this for myself, but a different open-source project. On Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 2:43 AM, John Maddock wrote:

Also, the onehtml does not want to use the boostbook.css where the html one uses it fine. Is it trying to include it manually into the file somehow, and if so, it seems like it is not finding the file (same directory as the root qbk file, the specified root directory), where does it need to be or how do I tell it where the file is located?

Look at the html source to see what stylesheet it uses.

It does not, that is the problem, it has no stylesheet import or anything, else I would have done so, but onehtml does not use a stylesheet at all in the generated html.

I think what happens here is that our XSL stylesheets for html generation set a default value for the css stylesheet to use, but the XSL wrapper used for the "onehtml" target doesn't. You can always set your own stylesheet for the html to use using an xsl:param of course, but maybe we should fix the onehtml target to be as similar as possible to the html one - just with chunking turned off?

What xsl:param do I use? I did not see this in quickboook or boostbook's docs. On Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 5:45 AM, Paul A. Bristow wrote:

Otherwise you probably should buy it :-(

(Unlike fop, it actually works ;-)

(I found specifying the line in my user-config was picky

I am doing this on linux currently, but easy enough to figure out paths, however I need something that will not cost money as if this is used, it will be used for a major and rather large open-source project.
