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. + |
