"normal" LaTeX does a lot of generation (TOC, index, list numbering, section headers, cross-ref text, cite text, etc), all of which are also done by eg the DSSSL and XSL Docbook systems. Thats the confusion that bothers me. If I wanted LaTeX to format docbook, I'd use xmltex, and not do any translation at all. Sebastian
