JTC 1/SC 34 - Document Description and Processing Languages - XML production of standards

This is a distribution of the work done by each of the working groups using XML in the production of documents suitable for sending to the ITTF. The contents are not intended to be static or be preserved, and final versions of these will be published as a technical report.

1. Working group efforts

Top

A project has begin in SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tr9573amd.

At this point work from that project and from two working groups are collected in is-20060307-0220z for distribution and test. Any XSLT and XSL-FO processor can be used, though the test invocation scripts utilize a digital-signature-aware version of the Ibex processor (see last section below). The invocations supplied are for Windows-based systems but the files can be used in non-Windows environments with your own invocations.

Unpack the package into a fresh directory and you will find two directories wg1 and wg3. The test.bat file must be modified with either (a) the path to the JAR file for the location of the digital-signature-aware Ibex FO processor or (b) the XSL-FO invocation changed to invoke another brand of FO engine.

Go into each working group directory and run "..\test wg1" or "..\test wg3" as appropriate to produce the sample test files:

T:\>mkdir test

T:\test>cd test 

T:\test\test>wzunzip -d \is

2. Digitally-signed stylesheets

Top

The "Ibex Signature Edition" engine configured for Crane's stylesheets is available as a free download from the "Downloads" page linked from the Visual Programming Ltd. web site noted above, or temporarily directly from http://www.xmlpdf.com/ibex-downloads-signed.html.

Until further notice, this environment is only supported under Java 1.4.

We thank Ibex for allowing their technology to be used in this fashion. The evaluation copy of Ibex can be used for tests of modifications to the stylesheets, and the Secretariat Manager will digitally sign finalized stylesheets for use by committee members.
