Which other XML dialects are taylored specifically for the purpose of writing non-technical prose? Now I tend to (ab)use DocBook for this (or LaTeX, while I dislike Macro's). The demands for such literature are less complex which justifies specialized dialects. I personally have to admit that in tech. docs I can always come up with a title for each seperation. It's only for non-technical prose that I desire another means to add a "pause" or a "seperation". Perhaps I ought to use the right tool for the right job ;) - Rowan -- Don't fear fear.
