Hi,
so far I only have experience with documentation written in AOO itself.
I've been experimenting with Markdown and Pandoc from time to time, and
wasn't always happy with the results and the possibilities. An amount of
time that I was not willing to give. And even now I don't have the time

Hi Keith,
I have been playing with DocBook and it certainly takes a while to learn. I
suspect that once it was figured out, it would be a workable way to produce
documents in various formats. I say that based on the progress I made in
about a week starting from zero knowledge. I am, however, still

Keith,
The PDF you sent looks somewhat different than the odt version of the
document that I have. Could you send the odt to my personal email? Also,
the odt I have uses an external link to get the Apache OpenOffice graphic,
i.e. the graphic is not embedded. I can just stick something else in that
Keith,
The only changes I made to the xml to make the second
pdf, Proposaltoreinvigerate_fjcc_myStyles2.pdf, were to change from a
hierarchical section structure to a nonhierarchical, changing sect1, sect2,
sect3 tags to just section, and putting tags around the title,
which moved it above the tab

If you have some time try the XML file from this location

Keith,
I would not say it was a disappointing result at all. I am a complete
novice with DocBook and I have used XSL exactly one time before this. I may
have committed any number of rookie mistakes. I was just playing with the
tools to see what worked right away and what would need tweaking.

Keith,
I have played with generating DocBook files from odt files and then
producing HTML or PDF from the DocBook. None of the output is even remotely
close to high quality material but I was pleased to get something readable.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I will start to look at how to make
