Hi Amos, {and list members} I'm impressed with the documentation that you recently published -- the three new user guides. It's nice to see that they come in 4 delicious flavors:
* Online HTML * Online PDF * gzipped tarred Postscript * gzipped tarred HTML
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides For a printed copy, I prefer the PDF format because the page breaks, margins and alignment are just as you, the author, intended. If I print the HTML from the browser, I usually change to the smallest font and hope for the best. Sometimes lines still print off the page and page breaks can be in ugly places. ***Ok, so how do you do it? What word processor and native format do you use? Is it based in HTML and converted to PDF and Postscript? I'm looking for the optimal WEB document tool but also want to have good looking paper documents. In the past, I have published *fancy* paper reports using VenturaPublisher (Old v4). A series of FoxPro programs scanned the DOS data to produce Ventura marked up ASCII files. Ventura could then print the fancy paper reports. Ok so we want to move this process to the web ...reports that look great both on the web and on paper SO..... ***What are the best tools Today? ****Are there tools that take a user query and make it fancy both for the screen and for paper? For example, can the PDF format be created automatically on the fly? ... Always print an intro page then print the results of a data query. Made available as a link for download/view on a Zope page? *---- Also related: I currently have a number of WordPerfect DOS files to convert to HTML Again, the best - easiest tools to use. Thank you. -bobo connor bob@rocnet.com
