thanx for this advice (and others'): i've run into more Docbook stuff & spent a frustrating couple of hours trying to do something with it (Mandrake Linux 9.0rc1). 'openjade -d /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets/docbook.dsl -t sgml file.docbook > file.d1' creates a text file of sorts, but i can't find any way to create an HTML file. in fact, it wb quite easy to write a Sed script to convert the tags, but there must be some straightforward way to simply read Docbook files: what are users expected to do with them? surely, people don't convert 25 .docbook files individually with some conversion program? i've looked at Sgmltools (1998 abandoned) & Sgmltools-lite (won't run); there's Docbook2X , which wouldn't compile. i just checked Google's list for 'db2html', which is mainly complaints. does anyone have further suggestions? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
