Mmmm, yes, thanks, Marco's tips seemed to work fine - at least the install: aptitude install texlive tex4ht Haven't tried creating fpcdocs yet, so hadn't reported back yet. I'm familiar with Debian (used to be FreeBSD) and not with Slackware; I'd prefer not having to figure out yet another distro ;) PS: aptitude install lazarus fpc fpc-source isn't too difficult to get FPC/Lazarus going in Debian either ;) Your post did remind me to check whether git is installed though, thanks ;) > I can add, that I am working on a rewrite of the RTF output writer for > FPDoc. This will generate RTF docs very similar to the current PDF > ones - including hyperlinking. Whatever scratches your itch ;) Personally, I'd rather see some more content in the help files than yet another way of generating the stuff, but of course everyone's free to do what he wants.
