Subject: Re: [xsl] XSL-FO book recommendations? From: "G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 08 Aug 2003 10:08:32 -0400 |
So far, I've seen three books focussing particularly on XSL-FO:
* XSL-FO (Dave Pawson/O'Reilly) * Definitive XSL-FO (G. Ken Holman/Prentice-Hall PTR) * XSL Formatting Objects Developer's Handbook (Doug Lovell/SAMS)
Practical Formatting Using XSL-FO (Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects) Fourth Edition - 2003-04-11 - ISBN 1-894049-11-X Copyright (c) 2003 Crane Softwrights Ltd. / 466 Pages / Subscription price includes free updates, / / soft-copy of included examples, and an / / accessible rendition and 10 PDF renditions. / / Free 242-page download preview excerpt.
Before getting one of them, I'd like to ask the list. What experiences do you have with the books?
(1) - have a very useful standalone reference in and of itself, extensively hyperlinked within itself and out from the PDF book to the W3C Recommendation in a separate web browser window (the reference annexes are included in the free preview in their entirety)
(2) - read the full text of the introductory sections and each chapter in order to make the decision to buy the book or not (either an individual license, geographic site staff license, or world staff license)
I think I'm looking for a more tutorial-style complement to the W3C spec which is a reference.
Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath (XSL Transformations and the XML Path Language) Tenth Edition - 2001-12-06 - ISBN 1-894049-08-X Copyright (c) 2001 Crane Softwrights Ltd. / 394 Pages / Subscription price includes free updates, / / soft-copy of included examples, and an / / accessible rendition and 10 PDF renditions. / / Free 140-page download preview excerpt.
