XSLT is how the documentation is generated now, as part of the pipeline from the docbook sources. Historically, the Exim docs were maintained in a language local to Cambridge, so it would be harder to make changes to old releases of the docs this way, but since Exim 4.60 the docs have been maintained in AsciiDoc format, which feeds into an XML pipeline. http://vcs.exim.org/viewvc/exim/exim-doc/doc-docbook/HowItWorks.txt?revision=1.9&view=co There is room for people who like document preparation systems to put some love into this area. Just don't break the .txt or .pdf outputs when working on the HTML. :) -Phil -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
