I would appreciate if somebody can describe the (REAL) actual state of FOP. Also: I can't use the Docbook DTD but at the cost of building a whole XSLT from scratch. My docs are not Docbxml compatibles. Also: After trying to learn Scheme, I must switch to XSLT. Ok, I wouldn't have a big problem but, after all, I found the tools very unstable. You mention 5 or 6 tools: I would appreciate a link to some site about them. For the time being, I only know about FOP. All this said, I reckon things and changing fast and I can't keep with it, but I pray for some stable tool wich allows documentation generation and management. I would pay for such tool if I can thorougly test it. Regards, Juan R. Migoya TEAM S.L. ZAMUDIO (VIZCAYA) SPAIN
