Sigh. I apologize for that; the whole documentation mess has been something I wished I could ignore, and the rant really wasn't directed at you; it was just a general rant. >2. The theorem example was just that, an example. Would you be less >annoyed if the roles were FAQ-specific stuff like 'question' and >'answer'? With a little work, the subset of DocBook you'd have to know >would be *tiny*, and the subset of LaTeX you'd have to know would be *zero*. The problem I have is "tiny" is greater than "zero". Even a tiny amount of time is time I don't have. This is completely aside from the problem that I don't have DocBook on any of the systems I have here and I'd have to install it (actually, okay, I was curious and I checked it out; it's not clear to me from a few minutes of Google exactly _what_ DocBook consists of; is just XML schema? If so, where do I get the tools to process it? _What_ tools do I need?) And while you say that the amount of DocBook that I need to know is tiny, the real problem is that I have almost no experience with SGML or XML, and I'd have to learn a bunch of stuff just to be able to GET anywhere with it; we don't have any of the tools or experience in-house here, and without that infrastructure I'd have to spend a ton of time working on it to be able to make any progress with it. Years ago I had the time to spend a week messing around with a TeX installation to get it working, but I don't anymore (okay, it may only take a day or two, but again, don't have the time). >3.

I'm not disagreeing with you; I simply don't care.
