Question: Is docbook sufficiently 'firm' to allow a specific solution? I.e. for any given input at the document level, we should be able to specify the 'required' / expected output? That would allow a diff of two files, albeit an XML diff (deep-equals?) which would make for easier testing of the (x)html output. For fo, would the xsl-fo be sufficient? I'd guess so. Hence a similar solution would be adequate. Just my 2cents worth. regards -- regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docbook-apps-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: docbook-apps-h...@lists.oasis-open.org
