Have a look at DocBook. You will need FreeBSD packages docbook-xml (the DTD), docbook-xsl (stylesheets for generating HTML and FO), libxslt (contains an XSLT processor invoked with xsltproc), and fop (converts FO to PDF). FO is an intermediate document format, it means Formatting Objects. If you don't mind writing HTML, you will surely also accept writing XML. If you are interested in Docbook, I suggest reading Bob Stayton's excellent book: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ Best regards, -- Jean-Baptiste Quenot http://caraldi.com/jbq/
