Jennifer, In my experience, the only decent output from Docbook to Word is when you use XFC to convert the FO to RTF. The RTF output on FOP is not at all pretty ;-) However, if you use the personal version of XFC it stamps RenderX on the bottom margin, so you really should purchase XFC so tha

2009-09-24 Thread Bob Stayton
Hi, It looks to me like the "n" here would be a replaceable value rather than a literal, so using n would be allowed and appropriate. The stylesheet formats that element as italic monospace. You could customize the template that matches on replaceable (in html/inline.xsl) to do regular italic
