One problem I have with my exiting ikiwiki/markdown knowledge bases is that markdown doesn't have a really solid, good-looking (via LaTeX) PDF output mechanism, meaning that you can't produce printed documentation. Wikis are also non-linear, which also causes problems when you try to produce printed documentation (which is inherently linear). Finally, docbook has good support for footnotes, endnotes, sidebars, appendices, lists of figures and tables, and (in recent versions, as an extension) some basic formula support. > I hate editing anything without vim & git. You can edit docbook with vim and git; it's not docbook's fault if there's no nxml equivalent for vim ;-) _______________________________________________ debian-live-devel mailing list debian-live-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel
