e-novative DocBook Environment (eDE)

The e-novative DocBook Environment (eDE) is a free, ready-to-go integrated environment for Windows enabling you to various output formats from DocBook XML sources. Currently a single HTML page, multiple HTML pages and PDF output are supported. eDE installs in a snap and lets you create output files with one command line command. Supports articles and books, includes well-documented customization. Using DocBook has many advantages over using a regular word processor. eDE was designed with the average user in mind. No special XML, HTML, CSS, XSL or even Windows knowledge is required to install and use eDE. eDE installs on Win32 systems in a few seconds, does not mess up any registry or put anything into a Windows directory. The document generation is performed by batch files so you only have to enter one command to create output. Since eDE is command-line-oriented, all tasks are particularly easy to automate. eDE currently supports single HTML page, multiple HTML pages and PDF output; HTML Help support will be added soon, other formats like Plain Text, Postscript and Latex might be added in the future.
