I'd suggest you use the DocBook SGML DTD. This can translate to TeX and HTML and XML and a million other things. It's accepted by many software book publishers for print production. There are 4 docbook-related packages on my Debian system, I haven't explored them and the SGML packages yet, but I know that a lot of people are writing in it. Now I know there are visual tools to edit SGML but I don't know what they are. Thanks Bruce

Emacs :-). Emacs PSGML mode does a lot that expensive editing package do, like validation and context-sensitive tag insertion. Vim has an SGML mode that makes editing easier through color-highlighting. Frame+SGML and WordPerfect are supposed to support DocBook, but I don't know whether support is up-to-date. ArborText Adept is what we use under Windows, a pro package with pro pricing (around 1200 dollars per seat, IIRC). That's everything I'm aware of... -- Cees de Groot http://www.cdegroot.com <cg@cdegroot.com> http://www.sgmltools.org <cg@sgmltools.org>
