Hi, about the dbforms manual: I have readed that the new OpenOffice developer build 643 has got these new features:
- New import/export filters. FlatXML, DocBook, XHTML and mobile device filters DocBook ... Wow !! - Native PDF export capabilities Read more at: http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/643/release_notes.html I'm going to give it a try ... I'm very interested into the DocBook export (I hope) functionality. If it *really works*, I could try to convert the current .doc manual into docbook. Why ? - docs are stored in plain ASCII XML format files - you can validate the structure of the document using the docbook dtd - document rendering is done by XSLT stylesheets (the new school) - you can produce the following output formats: - html - pdf - rtf - you can put the xml source files into the CVS ;^) Luca Dirk Kraemer wrote: >>And where can i find the manual? >> > > the docfile from dbforms.org: > > http://www.dbforms.org/docs/usersguide/word/DbForms_UserGuide_v1_1.doc > > We should not do massive updates, who knows if Philip has > some work in progress, but new sections or bigger extensions > at one single place should not make problems.
