There are several books that devote a chapter (or less) to DSSSL. I can suggest: "SGML at Work" Danny Vint; ISBN 0136365728 "The XML Handbook" Goldfarb, Prescod; ISBN 0130811521 Your best bet, IMHO, is to start with the OpenJade site http://www.netfolder.com/DSSSL/index.html. - Before starting with the tutorials listed on the OpenJade site, learn something about Scheme. There are online references on the OpenJade site and many good books (my favorite is "The Little Schemer" Freidman, Felleisen). - Do both tutorials completely. - Read this lists archives. - Stay plugged into this list, there is not a day that goes by when at least one pearl of wisdom is not dropped. - Get Norm Walsh's Modular Style Sheets for Docbook. Even if your not doing Docbook, there are hundreds of DSSSL problems solved that are applicable to any DTD. - Don't reinvent the wheel, read the DSSSL Procedure Library and Cookbook. - Keep a copy of the DSSSL standard handy. Best of Luck, David Maltby DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
