DocBook vs. LaTeX

I'm currently working on my PhD in LaTeX. I need quite some Hebrew as
well as other languages, preferably in Unicode. Could anybody tell me
what the advantages of docbook are compared to LaTeX?

Regards,
Robert.

Hi, Does anyone know a (open source) way of transforming MathMl in DocBook documents to PDF, along with the DocBook stuff ? Preferrably not that LaTex back ned hack. I can find loads of programs on the MathML page, just not that. Soren --

Hello everybody, I managed to get formulas from docbook to latex using the db2latex stylesheets. I even managed to get those formulas into HTML via the dvi2bitmap program. The last obstacle is getting formulas into Word in an "easy" way. The best way would be a stylsheet that converts latex formulas to mathML. I know I ask for a lot but maybe someone has an even better idea. Any hints are welcome.

What's the best way to maintain HTML documentation and generate a PDF that has a Table of Contents, and an Index that has the CORRECT page numbers for the pdf. I don't see any way to do this in Acrobat 7 Pro. What's the right tool. I want to generate my documentation that looks JUST LIKE the acrobat help file that has a Contents tab, Search tab and Index tab with a browseable index. THANKS !!!!

I am trying to get started with using Docbook/xml using free tools and am stymied in generating printable documentation from even the simplest source. I have attempted to generate a PDF using xmlto (which I guess is a shell interface to xsltproc) for the docbook source on a variety of platforms: Debian GNU/Linux stable, Gentoo GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, and Cygwin. In no case have I been successful, and the error messages are certainly not...

Greetings, what is the correct way to mark a variable using Docbook? I do not mean the name of a variable from some program code. There is <varname> for this. I mean something like: Let n be the number of files. ... I'd like to mark the 'n' somehow. In LaTeX one would do $n$.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
