What is hard about using PuTTY to run 'make html' at the shell?
I thought you meant running emacs via putty.
Okay, okay, that's fine if Emacs runs well under Windows.
Just as well as it does on Linux.
I was thinking more about the toolchain. If it were myself, with a good running copy of Emacs under Windows, I would still use PuTTY to scp my XML to the server.
I dont' know what scp is. I generally use a local (to windows) tool chain to check that what I've written is valid, that the resultant html is good etc. Final deliverable is XML, so I don't need to use dsssl.
My reasoning for keeping the Fedora docs toolchain running under Fedora Core is that is where it is designed to run, best to troubleshoot, and somewhat supportable/fixable.
Is it used only for interim viewing though? The end result html is built by redhat staff isn't it?

I don't either, and not from a value judgment about Windows OSes position, but because this is not a discussion list about running DocBook-based tools under Windows. I didn't want to sound mean and tyrannical to Brad or any other user who has to exist under Windows, I just thought a solution that was thematic with the beginning and ending (FIFO - Fedora in, Fedora out) might make more sense.
I guess it depends why you want to style the xml?
