Hi Gary, You should decide between asciidoc and a2x generated xhtml depending on the characteristics of the xhtml you want. Asciidoc generated xhtml uses javascript to do section numbering, toc and some other bits, a2x generated xhtml is static and has a few other slightly different characteristics. Re embedding css in a2x generated xhtml, you *might* be able to do it if you play with xslt options, eg generate.css.header and docbook.css.source but I've never done it. See http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/index.html for more detail. Cheers Lex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "asciidoc" group.
