Thank you for answering. Just allow me a last note. Certainly you know it, but just in case... do you realize that be adding this and some better navigation among the chapters/sections, XXE could become *The* DocBook editor in the Free software world? I think there is an enormous vacuum here. I don't know of a single productive DocBook editor for serious documentations except ArborText Epic and maybe FrameMaker, and those are both far too expensive for most of these projects. (Also, it would be very good advertisement for your spell checker that you want to sell.) -- Best regards, Daniel Dekany
