Yes. The docs are written in an abstract SGML markup, so that you don't have to make formatting decisions at the time you are writing docs. You then run the docs along with stylesheets through jade and out comes either html or tex. You can then feed the tex off to other programs to get PostScript, PDF, PalmPilot, etc. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
