XSL Writing html code directly in docbook
I am new to docbook, but can not find a decent way to write some pieces of html code directly in the docbook xml structure. The best I 开发者_如何学JAVAcould find was dbhtml-include, but it requires a separate html file to parse.
Is it possible to write a few html lines directly ?
What I am actually trying to do is to write math with mathjax inside docbook. There may be a smarter way to do this though.
Thanks for any help.

It is always possible "to write directly" in XSLT and you can modify any XSLT stylesheet, including those of DocBook, to do so. A simple example below:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
Hello, World!
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
However, intersparsing XSLT and html is an antipattern that leads od spaghetti-like code that is unreadable and difficult to maintain.
This explains the design decision of Norm Walsh for dbhtml-include
.
A very powerful design pattern also is to have a form-like html that contains a few XML elements which after the transformation are substituted with specific content -- the fill-in-the-blanks pattern.
FWIW, I usually just generate a barebones HTML page and then customize it with something like Sitemesh. Going from XML -> XSL -> Fully Customized HTML is generally a royal pain unless you are a master of figuring out some of the most complex XSLT stylesheets humanity has ever seen.
some advice; If you have a XML and XSL, you can easily generate HTML by XEP. I think it is too usefull. If have any questions, you can visit the forum of RenderX: http://cooltools.renderx.com Also you can try a trial version of XEP from (http://www.renderx.com/tools/index.html)
