Clearly the tools are an advantage, but I also think the markup syntax is better. Troff is not really that good, texinfo is better IMO; but with both you have a reasonable chance to read the document in source format, by simply skipping over some markup bits here and there. With SGML the markup is so intrusive that I find it impossible to skip over it and read the text, especially since the markup itself looks like text instead of looking like line noise. -- Alexandre Julliard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
