My god, has the information on the docs community page grown since I last had a thorough look ! Marvellous :) That gives me a reasonable starting point. Thanks a lot. I may explore docbook a little and see how far I get. Thing is, once the stuff is in some text-editor-capable format, converting to something else becomes so much easier. Word processing programs nail yourself into such a corner :( Thanks again, FrankH.
