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.
