That works pretty well. Sample input: http://per.bothner.com/papers/Qexo04/Qexo04.xml HTML output: http://per.bothner.com/papers/Qexo04/Qexo04.html LaTex output: http://per.bothner.com/papers/Qexo04/Qexo04.tex PDF output generated from above: http://per.bothner.com/papers/Qexo04/Qexo04.pdf It does require a little bit of pre- and post-processing using the standard Unix 'sed' command, in addition to xsltproc, and TeX. Somebody who know xslt and docbook better could probably do a better job, but I can provide the scripts if interested. -- --Per Bothner per@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
