TEACHING DOCUMENT PRODUCTION AND MANAGEMENT WITH DOCBOOK

Alberto González Téllez

2006

Abstract

Document production is an important aspect of academic activity. Nowadays the most common tools used to create teaching documents are office suites and e-learning oriented authoring applications. We found that none of these options fulfill our requirements of content repository management, content filtering and presentation format selection, and last but not least being open and free. Docbook is a book production oriented XML compliant language, so it has the capability of using the standard XML processing tools like XSLT, XPath, XInclude and XQuery. The main parts of Docbook (DTD and stylesheets) are open source. These basic components can be customized and complemented in order to get adapted to application requirements and final users. After some years of experience using Docbook to produce our teaching material we found productive tools and we developed some Docbook customizations.
