Mike:
> But my first question is: Is this do-able for a newbie? Or am I nuts? I looked at the code for your web site and you seem to know a fair bit about HTML and CSS. May I suggest you look at Prince, an HTML (or XML, come to that) formatter that uses CSS to specify formats and outputs to PDF? The book /Cascading Style Sheets: Designing for the web/ by Hakon Lie and Bert Bos was written in HTML and output to PDF by Prince. If you want an automatically generated table of Contents and index, you have to do a bit of XSLT work. Or you could just hand craft the front and back matter in some other application and prepend and append to the generated PDF file. See <http://www.princexml.com/download/>. It costs a bit but may be worth keeping your hair. You may be able to download and do the job for free for a one-off job if you can get around the evaluation spoiler, which doesn't seem difficult.
