I too am concerned with the title change. That apparently applies to the whole documentation (see first line of http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.7.3/) so I don't think that overall title change is acceptable. What happens if you leave <title>The PLplot Plotting Library</title> as is but make the rest of your changes? I assume <titleabbrev role="texinfo-file">plplotdoc</titleabbrev> completely determines the output file name. Thus, what issue is solved by changing the overall title at this point? If it is not a showstopper issue for you (like the filename issue is), then I am inclined to go with your changes except keeping the overall title as is. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
