All strict XML like correct closing and shortened tags as well as case sensitivity are obeyed, I just haven't checked if anything special changed between DocBook/SGML and DocBook/XML but it should be trivial to fix that. > Yes, I have seen it, but I think that it is better XSLT instead of > python, because XSLT is more easy and it was designed for this kind of > jobs :-). Well, DSSSL wasn't sufficient layout-wise and python is some magnitudes faster than Jade. > However, XSLT could be insufficient if the LaTeX generated is > very complex.

I wouldn't care too much about the Python output now, HTML is important and XSLT is THE choice here. > I love sablotron. It is fast and very easy to use.

That's sort of a problem, really. It took quite some time to figure out how to get Jade to do that and still releases are a pain in the neck because there's a lot which has do be done manually still. > Well.

If I'm useful for GIMP I will work here. What do you need? First of all we need ideas what the help should like and which nifty features we might be able to introduce. Mel wanted redo the complete structure anyway so we have lots of freedom to design... -- Servus, Daniel
