Ahh, I was missing that documentation, thanks. I've also now found the flow
object class reference, which helps a bit as well ;)
I'll ahve a read through what I've got so far... the DSSSL documentation
project was interesting as well...if a little incomplete ;)

nope, none of the above - any ideas?
here's a sample run:
# docbook2pdf -d stylesheet Design_Docs.xml
Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/catalog
Using stylesheet: /home/thomi/.docsdir/stylesheet
Working on: /home/thomi/.docsdir/Design_Docs.xml
jade:/usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl:31:27:W: characters in the document
character set with numbers exceeding 65535 not supported
Done.
I'm not sure what the warning is all about, I aven't changed anythign in that
file... and it works, so I'm not touching it ;)
