Depends on the book, doesn't it. It may be very easy. I, of course,
believe that it would be easy using PassiveTeX. If any of you have the
proceedings CD-ROM of XML Europe 2000, look at the PDF versions of the
papers on that - all done from XML using PassiveTeX.

I expect O'Reilly dont do TeX now that Norm has left :-}
