Having practiced in the past, I know for sure that LaTex produces _very_ high quality outputs, but I also know that having LaTeX configured right on one's system can be as tedious as "[...] writing the decimals of pi using Roman numerals" (citation from the Unix haters' handbook). I could make the existing manuals in the git source tree build fine on my Gentoo system, but I'm no beginner with Gentoo, git, or even, LaTeX. And then, it's kind of the "C against EBNF" factor, translated to "XML against LaTeX": many more people can read and write XML than LaTeX, which is why I was thinking about DocBook. This is not to say I deny the value of what has been written, quite the opposite. Just that a wider access to read/write requires a more vernacular language. What's more, DocBook outputs are plenty, HTML included. -- Francis Galiegue, [email protected] "It seems obvious [...] that at least some 'business intelligence' tools invest so much intelligence on the business side that they have nothing left for generating SQL queries" (Stéphane Faroult, in "The Art of SQL", ISBN 0-596-00894-5) _______________________________________________ Cocci mailing list [email protected] http://lists.diku.dk/mailman/listinfo/cocci (Web access from inside DIKUs LAN only)
