TOC/Indexing automagically could be useful. However, in order to use it, I have to learn a whole new markup language. Irony of ironies, the documentation for JADE ( the editor recommended on the docbook site ) sucks. I'll keep working on expanding what I have at: http://www.segv.org/freeradius/toc.html The html editor for mozilla is actualy very well done, and that's what I'm using. You can flip on the fly between editing raw markup html and wysiwyg, which is quite cool. You can save as HTML or TEXT ( where TEXT is de-htmlized and wrapped at 80 columns ). If someone else wants to put it in docbook format and maintain it, feel free to do so. :) -Chris -- \\\|||/// \ Chris Parker - Manager, Development Engineering \ ~ ~ / \ WX *is* Wireless! \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | @ @ | \ http://www.starnetwx.net \ (847) 963-0116 oOo---(_)---oOo--\------------------------------------------------------ \ Without C we would have 'obol', 'basi', and 'pasal' - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
