Hi, I'm the dblatex maintainer, so I'm a bit biased, but if you know latex you will be free to customize the latex layout as you wish. I think most of the elements are supported, except the HTML tables. The limitations are those imposed by latex: the latex table limitations, the footnotes

I think that's a great idea. It would also be helpful to extend it to work as a component in a TomCat environment where Lucene could replace the search engine (for larger help environments). Larry Rowland -Original Message- From: Jirka Kosek [mailto:ji...@kosek.cz] Sent: Thursday, Febru
