Unless someone more knowledgeable can bring up a problem I don't know about, I'd be happy to switch. When I first set up the DocBook stuff, I looked at the possibility of XML but encountered various suggestions that the tools were earlier in their development cycle than I really wanted. After that, simple inertia, not technical tradeoffs, kept me from switching, and it's been long enough that I'm not surprised that the tools are in pretty good shape now. > 2) XML does not accept the </> end tag abbreviation which the SBCL > documentation employs. Yes, XML is even less like S-expressions than SGML.:-( But I can probably live with that. -- William Harold Newman <william.newman@xxxxxxxxxxx> We were bedevilled by the daemons of diagrammatic overdesign.
