While I was big into LaTeX during the university, even wrote my thesis with it, using the MikTeX distribution, nowadays I rather use the likes of Word, FrameMaker, DocBook or DITA based tooling.


It was quite long ago a saw a new project that opted to utilise DocBook. Is it still popular?


I used it on a project three years ago.

All the help system was based on it, generating Word, PDF and HTML based deliveries.

It is relatively popular at the enterprise level, where the licensing costs for such tools are peanuts vs the overall project costs.


Neat! Would you minding listing some of those toolchain vendors? I think about pros and cons of various publishing systems from time to time and would love some new input.


FrameMaker, OxygenXML, RoboHelp, XMetaL, XMLmind, Arbortext.


Oh, lots of stuff to look up. Thank you!
