Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: need help with DocBook customization
Hi all, as far as I see, no backend was mentioned. You might consider importing jade mif output into FrameMaker for printing/pdf purposes if you already have such "legacy tools". Sometimes you can even get acceptable results with rtf and word (with even more pitfalls though). After importing you can postprocess the text to some extent by hand. I didn't take the time to fiddle with PassiveTeX long enaugh. Simple painless out-of-the-box table rendering (at the cost of some quality) is probably not the strength of most TeX macro packages. But, that's no hands-on judgement on PassiveTeX. Jens > -----Original Message----- > From: Yann Dirson [mailto:ydirson@fr.alcove.com] > Sent: Dienstag, 18.
