Thanks for the answer. We are a small shop, and our documentation has been with OpenOffice exclusively, but OO's layout of technical docs has been a nasty work for us.
So we are starting to convert our documentation into DocBook, starting with the english version, and using Emacs and the docbook utilities on Linux for conversion. So yes, we are not very fluent in DocBook yet :) However, not everyone is working on Linux, and the docbook utilities have some weird problems (or either we have not figured out how to use them correctly). So we are looking for a cross-platform tool, and hopefully not costing us an arm and a leg, hence XXE. regards hb >Hi hb, > >This is not a question that belongs in the XXE-list, rather it should be >asked in the docbook-apps at lists.oasis-open.org list, but >it's not easy for you to know if you're new to DocBook and XXE. > >To get different languages in the output set the attribute "lang" in the ><book> element.
