Benoit Marchal : Managing e-zines with JavaMail and XSLT

"demonstrates how to automate e-mail publishing chores with Java and XML. This concrete application of XML and XSLT describes an e-mail newsletter (e-zine) publishing application that outputs both HTML and plain text e-mail messages. Six reusable code samples include a sample newsletter marked up in DocBook, an XSL style sheet to convert the DocBook sample to a custom text output, a Java text formatter (in the form of a SAX ContentHandler), two SAX filters, and the Java code that puts it all together in a multistepped transformation."
