Yes, but. I dislike writing in XML. Computers should do things my way, for my convenience. Writing the book in XML is, IMO, difficult and error prone. It should be written with something that outputs the XML, but edits in English. Wiki mark-up is close, but still not quite what I want. If only there were a LyX for XML, as there is for LateX! I'm still looking mind! R. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
