I'm personally not too keen on having to write XML documents. XML is nice for machines to talk to one another, but as a human I cringe at the thought of writing a document directly in XML. I'd rather author docs using something like Wiki syntax, or StructuredText. Is there anything that can go from a StructuredText-like input to multiple output forms like HTML, PDF, and perhaps even the HTML Help format that's so useful on Windows? -- - Geoff Talvola [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
