Re: [docbook-apps] How to make chemical structure automatically numbered

Bernhard--

I'll just comment on one thing, then shut up :-).  It appears you're 
already familiar with LaTeX.  It's possible to convert DocBook to LaTeX 
using the dblatex program (http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/), and you can 
create customizations to take advantage of other LaTeX packages, etc.  
We've used dblatex for over a decade to do grammars; we added a few XML 
schemas + transformations not in standard DocBook for linguistic 
structures.  There was a bit of a learning curve; xslt is definitely my 
un-favorite programming language.  (Andy Black, who may be lurking on 
this list, helped us through the early days.)
