My standards a lower there. Aesthetics are important but not prio 1. And IMHO DocBook output *is* nice. And you do know, that O'Reilly books (all/some/a few?!?) are written in DocBook "nowadays", don't you? Maybe blogging&sharing would get far more often done, if the means were easier. My current experience is "DocBook Website", which glues separate documents together using a "layout.xml", which serves quite a few different purposes including customization. I would even regard it as acceptable to maintain something like the source of the RSS/atom feeds, which could be the corresponding thing to that "layout.xml". > If something is not long or if the aesthetics are very critical, > perhaps DocBook is not the tool ? > I am not trying to start a flame war, > just trying to look at things from everybody's perspective. Fair enough. Thanks for your contribution. I just wanted to ask around and maybe suggest and idea. Sometimes it take a spark, you know, in order to start projects, tiny ones and big ones.
