Randal and i did something similar at WebBuilder 2001 this month. i was supposed to make a PDF file, which we normally do, but Framemaker was complaining. Jeffery Zeldman had just given a big talk on style sheets and XML, so we hacked up an XML version of the slides, wrote a small program to parse it, then applied cascading style sheets to the very simple HTML. i put everything in CVS: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/brian-d-foy/Builder2001/ Perlpoint, a similar program, does about the same thing the this or txt2slides does, as well, but i wanted to use XML so that we could use the data with some of our xml2mif things. :) -- brian d foy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Perl services for hire CGI Meta FAQ - http://www.perl.org/CGI_MetaFAQ.html Troubleshooting CGI scripts - http://www.perl.org/troubleshooting_CGI.html
