The Technology Behind the Text
This book is being written in DocBook XML, which is the format that O'Reilly likes for cross publishing to paper, the web, and other forms. We're bringing that vision to the wiki as well. All the Chapters are being automatically translated via a scripted pipeline to Dokuwiki formatting and are posted here periodically.
Building a Doku Wiki from a DocBook XML document
I've hacked together something out of Saxon-B, and sed all running on Cygwin on my PC. Don't look below if you have a weak stomach.

cp BuildingReputation/ch01.xml . rm -f ch01.doku cat ch01.xml | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed 's/^<entry^>/^<entry align="center"^>/' >temp.doku java -jar saxon9.jar -t -s:temp.doku -xsl:docbook2dokuwiki.xsl -o:temp2.doku sed -e 's/^</^</' < temp2.doku | sed -e 's/^>/^>/' | tail +2 >ch01.doku rm -f temp*.doku
The sed calls, in order:
- removes leading white space from every line. Dokuwiki interprets it as significant. Sigh.
- I don't understand xsl: vars yet, so just add an align to every table entry that doesn't explicitly set it.
- Dokuwiki plugins have their own tag parameter formatting (no equal signs) so I have to fix the longhand lt and gt.
- The tail command strips off the top xsl header added by saxon for easy cut and paste.

This is oversimplified. Don't use it. Really. I can't believe I'm using it, but I am in a hurry at the moment.
