I did ask on LyX list, but after playing a bit with AsciiDoc I see that there is not much tweaking needed to get high-quality output (via dblatex). :-) > Docbook pdf tool chains vary in their quality and portability, but you > do have a choice.

I went quickly through user guide and I'be got a feeling that AsciiDoc is much more powerful than reST, although not much more complex...I like it. ;) > I havn't tried it but FOP is Java and should run on any platform. I was able to get satisfying results via dblatex and prefer to stay away from Java tools...btw, lost all the hope in FOP long ago. :-) So, here is the new AsciiDoc user. ;) Sincerely, Gour -- What is night for all beings is the time of awakening for the self-controlled; and the time of awakening for all beings is night for the introspective sage. http://atmarama.net | Hlapicina (Croatia) | GPG: 52B5C810
