You need XSL stylesheets which transform DocBook/XML to OpenOffice Open Document Format (hope I got it right). If there are any, we can produce OpenOffice documents. The point is, LaTeX is currently the best system which can deal with this amount of text very well. Unfortunately, most of the grafics we use are converted to inlinegraphic elements in LaTeX. Those graphic elements are problematic to align correctly over a few pages and leads in to errors. I'm sure it's a mostly a fact of changing from the most mediaobjects to figure elements in DocBook. > > But we could need some help with it everytime - so if you have > > questions or annotations to the manual - please ask and state > > them ! > > Thanks very much for your help gentlemen.
