This module provides ways to parse XML documents. It is built on
top of XML::Parser::Expat, which is a lower level interface to James
Clark's expat library. Each call to one of the parsing methods
creates a new instance of XML::Parser::Expat which is then used to
parse the document. Expat options may be provided when the XML::Parser
object is created.
These options are then passed on to the Expat object on each parse
call. They can also be given as extra arguments to the parse methods,
in which case they override options given at XML::Parser creation
time.

XML::Writer is a helper module for Perl programs that write an XML
document. The module handles all escaping for attribute values and
character data and constructs different types of markup, such as
tags, comments, and processing instructions.
By default, the module performs several well-formedness checks to
catch errors during output. This behaviour can be extremely useful
during development and debugging, but it can be turned off for
production-grade code.
The module can operate either in regular mode in or Namespace
processing mode. In Namespace mode, the module will generate Namespace
Declarations itself, and will perform additional checks on the
output.
Additional support is available for a simplified data mode with no
mixed content: newlines are automatically inserted around elements
and elements can optionally be indented based as their nesting
level.
was conflicting with docbook-modular as an already-existing version
of docbook) thx to espie@ for the way to solve this
- bump NEED_VERSION
- correct minor typo in DESCR
- update license information
- add lots of catalog files for new versions
- use EXTRACT_CASES for getting files out
- replace manual chmod/zcat with macros
- add docbook-modular dependancy
- take MAINTAINER (ok angelos@)
- PLIST now doesnt rm share/sgml/docbook so other
ports (docbook-modular) can also use it

DocBook is a DTD maintained by the DocBook Technical Committee of
OASIS. It is particularly well suited to books and papers about
computer hardware and software (though it is by no means limited
to these applications).
Because it is a large and robust DTD, and because its main structures
correspond to the general notion of what constitutes a "book,"
DocBook has been adopted by a large and growing community of authors
writing books of all kinds.
DocBook is supported "out of the box" by a number of commercial
tools, and there is rapidly expanding support for it in a number
of free software environments.

These are DSSSL stylesheets for the DocBook DTD (they are also
completely compatible with the DocBook XML DTD).
DSSSL is a stylesheet language for both print and online rendering.
The acronym stands for Document Style Semantics and Specification
Language. It is defined by ISO/IEC 10179:1996. For more general
information about DSSSL, see the DSSSL Page at http://www.jclark.com/dsssl
