Please, let me > know what is the procedure. The Handbook is written in sgml, using the linuxdoc DTD. We're moving over to the docbook DTD shortly. You'll want to download the original source to the Handbook and figure out the markup syntax from that. You can go through the CVSWeb interface under www.freebsd.org -> support -> CVS tree, or by subscribing to the src-share distribution through cvsup or ctm. Then just extract the required keywords. Unfortunately, you'll probably have to upgrade the sgmls parser that came with the system to the newest version, which I have no idea how to do. I'm guessing this won't be very long -- "man pkg_add" Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
