Or, in addition, you can now also use numerous XSLT and XSL processors. For jade, you change jade [lots of options here] mydoc.sgml to jade [lots of options here] /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl mydoc.xml Saxon is a good XSLT processor, although it uses Java and as far as I know does not (yet?) work using Kaffe. Sablotron is one in C++ and libxslt is written in C. Then if you want to switch to XSL-FO you can use Apache's FOP (Java) or passivetex (TeX). All mentioned software is Free / Open Source. There are commercial products as well of course. Google will happily provide links. -- The idea is that the first face shown to people is one they can readily accept - a more traditional logo.
