<h2>Complete XML Development System Integrated with FreeBSD</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Concord, CA, April 29, 1999</b>: Included with FreeBSD 3.1 is a
|
|
complete, integrated SGML/XML development system that installs with a
|
|
simple, easy to use command sequence.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD's Ports system and multitasking architecture makes it easy for an
|
|
SGML/XML developer to download and install all the latest versions of the
|
|
tools and reference material he needs to develop SGML and XML formatting
|
|
languages and documents, and the online Internet mailing lists help him learn
|
|
and keep up-to-date with the evolving XML implementation.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD is a full-featured open-source operating system which runs on
|
|
virtually all Intel x86-based personal computers. Its 580 page "Handbook"
|
|
has recently been completely done over into DocBook format, and it is a
|
|
living example of an evolving document built with SGML tools. The Handbook
|
|
is available on the Internet at:

|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FreeBSD Documentation Project is also making available the
|
|
"FreeBSD Documentation Project Primer" to make it as painless as
|
|
possible for newcomers to contribute to the FreeBSD Documentation Set.
|
|
Much of the information in the primer is appropriate to all SGML/XML
|
|
users, and is freely available. The primer, which is constantly being
|
|
updated by the Documentation Project team, can be found at:</p>

<h3>Features of the Document Project SGML/XML System include:</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>James Clark's Jade 1.2.1 and SP suite version 1.3.3, enabling
|
|
formatting and validation of SGML and XML documents.</li>
|
|
<li>A complete set of 19 ISO SGML character set entities</li>
|
|
<li>The DocBook (v2.4.1, v3.0, v3.1), HTML (all versions), and
|
|
LinuxDoc Document Type Definitions (DTD)</li>
|
|
<li>Norm Walsh's Modular DocBook Stylesheets, allowing fine control
|
|
over the appearance and formatting of DocBook documents.</li>
|
|
<li>Emacs and XEmacs, in conjunction with the PSGML extension package,
|
|
provide a customizable industrial-strength SGML editing solution.</li>
|
|
<li>The teTeX-beta package in conjunction with the JadeTeX macros make
|
|
it possible to convert DocBook documents to DVI, Postscript, and
|
|
PDF formats with embedded hyperlinks.</li>
|
|
<li>Additional SGML-aware programs and utilities can be found in the
|
|
FreeBSD ports system.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FreeBSD Documentation Project is actively migrating from the
|
|
LinuxDoc DTD to the DocBook DTD, and has been providing feedback to
|
|
the DocBook maintainers regarding new features and possible
|
|
implementations for the past year. For more information about the
|
|
FreeBSD Documentation Project, please contact the freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org
|
|
mailing list.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FreeBSD operating system is available on the Internet from the
|
|
master FreeBSD website and from various mirror systems around the
|
|
world, and it can also be obtained on convenient CDROMs from Walnut
|
|
Creek CDROM. Information on all of these options is available through:</p>
