Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've been trying some in-house documentation using DocBook and then the FreeBSD DTD. The pdftex version seems far superior to the ps2pdf version of the same document, at least if the end result is PDF. The table of contents has links to the pages, for example. But there's an ominous note about limitations of pdftex in the Handbook Makefile. So I'd like to ask for more detail about the limits: what are they? Am I likely to hit them with a much smaller manual if I stick with pdftex instead of the ps2pdf method? -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
