I am using it now for text that is being generated out of data on VM, and it is not harder to generate SGML than for example HTML or DCF input. To me the value of using SCRIPT SGML was that you don't spend too much time on the formatting aspects, but primarily on the content. Things like a proper ToC were trivial with that, but are way beyond my MS Word skills it seems. I don't think I fancy writing docbook XML in Xedit as-is, but I do have some plumbing that takes "text with a bit of markup" (similar to what some wiki's use) and that could generate SGML rather than HTML as I do now... Especially if you have an open interface that allows for portions of pure XML when you know what you want, it can actually work. -Rob
