DocBook (DBK)

tool: xMod

Purpose: 

A tool capable of transforming a collection of TEI encoded XML records into a web site. To perform the process, the tool requires a set of valid XML files, a configuration script that indicates the relationship between files and a ‘personality pack’ (CSS and image files) that determine its visual appearance.

Features: 
  • Batch file processing
  • Modular XSLT structure, with special libraries for different transformation scenarios
  • Ability to group files for generation of indices at document and intra-document level
