I never said it was a gret format for the end-user. I said the benifits of using docbook for a distribution outway the spead the end-user gets from viewing documentation. It is easier to maintain a single file than 4 different versions of one. that's not even talking about the size. If you want to maintain html versions of the documentation be my guest. It's a royal pain in the ass and I for one don't even use html. I prefer text. I know people who prefer .pdf. Which format should we provide? All of them? hmmm...let's calculate how much larger the distribution got by providing at least 4 different versions of documentation. Ivan -- ---------------- Ivan E.
