Greg, I've recommended DocBook XML for over a year. The move to 4.2 is interesting, but I'd like to see other projects start using it first. Convert documentation to DocBook v4.x XML DTD https://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php?func=detailtask&project_task_id=21161&group_id=13751&group_project_id=5259 Note: PSGML is able to work with XML documents. https://sourceforge.net/projects/psgml/ -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf-project.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber - The world's fastest growing real-time communications platform!
