Is it possible to set a custom XLST file for the docbkx-maven-plugin?

It seems that Docbook Maven Plugin is using its own XSLT transformation. Is it possible to force my own transformation to it?

Solution

  • The customizations docbkx provides is same as docbook. I guess you just want to have your own customization layer that imports the docbook xsls.

    This is of course possible. See http://blog.kasunbg.org/2010/12/how-to-use-docbkx-tools-as-maven.html

    It provides a detailed guide on how to use docbkx-maven-plugin with your own customization layer.

    Here's the configuration      

    <configuration>
      <foCustomization>src/docbkx/xsl/fo.xsl</foCustomization>
      <xhtmlCustomization>src/docbkx/xsl/xhtml.xsl </xhtmlCustomization>
</configuration>
