The docproj port (/usr/ports/textproc/docproj) should also come in handy... it will install everything you need. > Where can I find _good_ info about jade and docbook/xml? > > BTW, do you think that openjade is better? Last I knew, the doc project's issue with openjade was that it worked fine for english documents, but didn't handle other charsets that well. Whether or not this has changed, I don't know... I haven't been following things that closely lately (I'm guessing it hasn't since the port is still using jade and not openjade). - jim -- jim mock http://soupnazi.org/ | jim@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
