Subject: SGML/XML packages available for testing

Hi,

finally Jon Foster and I got something that seems to work. The
following packages are available for testing:

docbook-dsssl
docbook-sgml
docbook-xml
docbook-xsl
openjade
sgml-base
tei-xml
tei-xsl
xml-base

The easiest way to test these packages is to enter:

http://www.toomanysecrets.net/~foster/cygwin/

as an extra mirror site in setup.exe.

The software should allow you to transform DocBook SGML and XML
documents as well as TEI XML documents to HTML and printable output. 

Printable output through TeX is not yet available AFAIK as it needs
some changes to the texmf packages. I'll try to come up with patches
and contact Jan as soon as possible.

There is a tutorial available at:

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hoenicka_markus/cygbook1.html

This covers more than actually is available as Cygwin packages, but it
should provide enough information to start using the packages for
those who do not have any previous experience with SGML/XML. The
tutorial does not yet reflect the package-based setup (it still
contains the manual installation from the days of yore), but this will
be fixed in the next release.

regards,
Markus
