Not only do I concur with Mr. Fowler’s view of XSLT and dropped it a
long time ago, but I feel similar chaffing at XML itself and am adopting
YAML for a time to see if I can get even more relief.

Do you have some other interesting URL about replacing XSLT with Ruby for
transforming XML sources?

I wrote an article on how I used REXML’s stream parser to populate
templates from an MXL dccument:

Thanks. Nice reading.
What do you think about using the same technology for transforming DocBook
documents into Latex-like ones?

I’m not that familiar with Latex, but from what I understand it should
be quite doable. The difficulty may reside in how much (or little) the
two formats map to each other.
In Rimport I use a somewhat different approach (perhaps similar to what
Fowler describes) where the code manually walks the tree, passing
elements and subtrees off to dynamically-invoked methods based on
element name and context. This may give you better control that
straight stream parsing, plus it saves you the trouble of having to
build your own subtrees.

This doesn’t bother me too much since it’s always possible to map some
DocBook tags in some LaTeX-like equivalent. Actually, I’m thinking about
ConTeXt package.

Thank you for pointing me at Rimport. I’ll take a look in order to learn
something
