Dear Hussein, Thank you for your answer, I must have been a bit blind ( :-( ). - the text on the page indeed states that the conversion is not included (I would have liked it a bit more clearly e.g by means of a colored bar in front of it or having the word "Note" capitalized and the rest of the sentence indented. But this is my personal taste) - the conversion window indeed clearly states the restriction, I didn't (carefully) read it the first time and a rtf file came out so I didn't pay attention later on ( :-(), completely my bad. - it is a pity it is not included, but I understand the company has to live as well and it is already very nice to have the personal edition (I'm already trying some things with it for doxygen development).
2 Subsequent questions: - when defining a <colspec> for a table, the colspec is displayed on top of the table, can I assume this is on purpose? - error messages, I see e.g.: [1] <0> required elements missing clicking on the one shows the tgroup, which is defined as: <tgroup cols="2" align="left" colsep="1" rowsep="1"> but I don't have a clue what is missing (might be my lack of knowledge of docbook). Sidenote: - unfortunately the email landed in my spam bucket, but I recovered it again. Thanks for the information and for the product.
