./textproc/dblatex, DocBook to LaTeX Publishing

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.3, Package name: dblatex-0.3, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Dblatex started as a DB2LaTeX clone, but since then many things
have changed and new features have been added or (hopefully)
improved. Now, the portion of shared code is small if any, and the
dblatex purpose is different from DB2LaTeX on these points:

* The project is end-user oriented, that is, it tries to hide as
much as possible the latex compiling stuff by providing a single
clean script to produce directly DVI, PostScript and PDF output.

* The actual output rendering is done not only by the XSL stylesheets
transformation, but also by a dedicated LaTeX package. The goal is
to allow a deep LaTeX customisation without changing the XSL
stylesheets.

* Post-processing is done by Python, to make publication faster,
convert the images if needed, and do the whole compilation.

   2008-06-19 18:35:22 by Jeremy C. Reed | Files touched by this commit (3) | Package updated
Log message:
Update to 0.2.9.

Now depend on tex-ifxetex (also just packaged) which may be included
by default on some TeX-like systems.
(I don't used xetex yet. Does pkgsrc have any method for detecting
various TeX support is provided versus just having a dependency?)

The main changes are:
- the XeTeX backend is added to dblatex 0.2.9.
- 0.2.8 adds support for xrefstyle and olinking (updated to Docbook 1.72)
