The PDF in http://vrici.lojban.org/~rlpowell/media/public/cll_build/

You'll note that it's some tweaking away from publishable.  Be
impressed.

The other things in there are *the same HTML* processed with a
display-style CSS; the PDF is with a paged media CSS using the free
version of http://www.princexml.com/

All of this is now in the docbook-prince branch of
https://github.com/lojban/cll

Working on the tweaking I mentioned should just be a matter of
altering either the chapters/ code or scripts/paged.css as
appropriate, and running: ./cll_build -T prince_pdf_web (although in
practice I suggest testing things on ./cll_build -c full ; see the
readme).

The required software now is just docbook itself (on my Fedora
system that's just "sudo yum install docbook5-style-xsl"), and the
free/test version of Prince, and probably the DejaVu font, so it
should be easy for people to help.

Have at.


I am a little confused. What has changed? If docbook is still being used, how did bringing Prince into the picture help?
