Iâve been exploring the answer to that question recently. There are
two obvious avenues: through XSL-FO or through CSS. Iâve made both
work, though the DocBook 2.0 stylesheets for FO arenât really as well
developed as the HTML ones.
Something as simple as this, should produce FO:
task myPdfDocument(type: DocBookTask) {
// And tell the pipeline to validate with the schema
option("schema", "https://docbook.org/xml/5.1/rng/docbook.rng")
input("source", "document.xml")
output("result", "output.fo")
option("format", "print")
}
Iâve produced PDF with CSS (via AntennaHouse) recently, see the xproc_pdf
task in build.gradle in github.com/xproc/3.0-specification/
Be seeing you,
norm
