i think i read smth about a wiki that supports docbook xml, (but i can not find the mail right now, and the [EMAIL PROTECTED] ml server gives error on searching :( ) & from docbook xml you can really easy create pdf, html, .... for dynamic conversation apache + cocoon is a good solution i think (at least for smaller documents, with my ~100page howto is a bit of pain) see http://www.xml-dev.com:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/linux-faq.html http://www.xml-dev.com:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/Apache-WebDAV-LDAP-HOWTO.html for pdf just replace the .html extension with .pdf svetljo -- NEU F�R ALLE - GMX MediaCenter - f�r Fotos, Musik, Dateien...
