Usage

Example from the Python command-line:

from docbook2sla import DocBook2Sla
d2s = DocBook2Sla()
print d2s.create('tests/data/xml/content.xml',
                 'tests/data/scribus/clean134.sla',
                 output_filename='tests/data/output/create_output.sla')
print d2s.syncronize('tests/data/xml/content-1.xml',
                     'tests/data/output/create_output.sla',
                     'tests/data/output/syncronize_output.sla')
