The ASCII looks really out of place in the printed (PostScript) version of the handbook that was recently published. With a few simple changes to the makefile and freebsd.dsl we could pass a variable with the -V option to [Open]Jade and let the DSSSL code decide whether to display the graphic (HTML or PostScript output) or the ASCII figure (Text output). Does this sounds like a logical way to solve the problem? I can provide diffs if someone isn't already working on this. We could pay interns here at BSDI to actually make the graphics. - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
