Texinfo has to produce HTML to become as sexy as HTML. Texinfo can produce 10 or 11 output formats and can be produced from DocBook. One output format is HTML; another is PDF. Yet another is plain text. Also, there are the two originals: DVI (DeVice Independent) and Info (plus a bunch more). The format of Texinfo may be old, but its outputs are as modern as HTML, DVI, and text. -- Robert J. Chassell bob@gnu.org bob@rattlesnake.com http://www.rattlesnake.com http://www.teak.cc
