+ <itemizedlist>
+
+ <listitem>DocBook is available as both an SGML DTD and as an XML
+ Schema. For various reasons, most of our documentation is in
+ SGML format, but can easily be converted to XML for processing
+ with XML tools.</listitem>
+
+ <listitem>Both SGML and XML allow include files, so we can share
+ content across the release notes, all 40 articles, and 9 books
+ in the documentation set.</listitem>
+
+ <listitem>Since the content is structured, intelligent search
+ engines could differentiate between, say,
+ <literal>touch</literal>, the Unix Command, and
+ <emphasis>touch</emphasis>, the feeling. Search engines,
+ agents, and other information processing tools have information
+ about the meaning of the content.</listitem>

+ <itemizedlist>
+
+ <listitem>Traditionally, we have used the Jade DSSSL Engine to
+ convert the DocBook SGML files into HTML, text, and PostScript
+ formats.</listitem>
+
+ <listitem>Jade can output HTML directly with the help of the DSSSL
+ stylesheets and extensive FreeBSD customizations. The text
+ formats can then be converted from the HTML with the help of a
+ text based web browser.</listitem>
+
+ <listitem>For Print output, we use the TeX backend of Jade and
+ then rely on TeX to generate the PostScript output.</listitem>
+
+ <listitem>The makefiles handle all of this, so <command>make
+ FORMATS=html</command> or <command>make FORMATS=ps</command> is
+ all you really need to know about if you have all of the tools
+ installed.</listitem>

+ <itemizedlist>
+
+ <listitem>The DSSSL stylesheet specification proved difficult to
+ implement in practice, and so Jade was the only widely
+ distributed implementation.</listitem>
+
+ <listitem>The XSLT language has been much more widely adopted, and
+ the goal is to eventually transition the FreeBSD Documentation
+ Set to XML/XSLT.</listitem>
+
+ <listitem>We already use XSLT extensively for the web site builds,
+ and it possible to build parts of the documentation set with
+ XSLT as well.</listitem>
+
+ <listitem>The new slides infrastructure relies solely on XSLT and
+ XSL-FO, without any DSSSL stylesheets.</listitem>
