I had a very similar requirement a while ago. I used docbook + jade + jadetex to produce large, technical documents (20-80 pages) in postscript, HTML, and RTF. Modulo a few oddities, I got a consistent and clean look in each format, from a single set of source documents. I'm not sure where you stand regarding .pdf, but if you can make it from tex or postscript then you're set. > I'm not concerned so much about a learning curve as I am about flexibility > and results.

Xemacs+psgml is a really neat environment for exploring SGML, in my opinion. John P. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Oh - I - you know - my job is to fear everything." - Bill Gates in Denmark
