Two questions: 1) Can I assume that someone that is familiar with latex will feel reasonably comfortable with DocBook? 2) Does DocBook have the ability to define and use variables, so we can define a variable $PRODUCT such that PRODUCT=Mozilla and PRODUCT=Netscape versions of the documentation can be easily produced with the right subs everywhere? I think you said something about this in your message above. Eric
