Re: FYI - another example of DocBook XML Slides online


Dan,

Thanks enormously for taking the time to set this all up. Although I
haven't yet had the chance to look at it, I'm expecting that it will be
incredibly useful.

  DY> I also modified "slides.css" to use the fonts that I wanted and give me the
