Multiple Format Dynamic Document Generation of Project Gutenberg Texts

Project Gutenberg consists of over seven thousand eBooks of various and inconsistent file formats. While most books are accessible to all through ASCII format, this not necessarily the preferred format for all users of Project Gutenberg texts. The proposed solution to this problem consists of multiple parts to create a comprehensive package that can be implemented in a production environment. This project demonstrates how converting Project Gutenberg eBooks to XML (eXtensible Markup Language), using a standard DTD (Document Type Definition) or XML Schema, creates the opportunity for all available texts to automatically become available in multiple formats by applying stylesheets to the XML. These formats can include, but are not limited to, HTML (HyperText Markup Language), plain text, or PDF (Portable Document Format). This should provide a framework for future Project Gutenberg collection development
