What DTD are you talking about? I > presume DocBook. I'm aware of what XML is, having written several tools in guile to manipulate XML files, and having written XML DTDs for my employer. What I was expressing above is that you would be converting it to viewable formats, not looking at the XML directly (at least until someone gets a good XML/DSSSL viewer going). This is not dependent on the DTD. > In any case, Guile is probably not an appropriate project for SGML > experimentation within GNU: it might be a core GNU component well > before the DocBook->[tex]info tools are ready. Well, maybe not Docbook, but there is already SDC, which has an info and a tex backend in addition to a bunch of others. It has it's own DTD tho. The original author Joerg may be adding Docbook support soon. All the same, I could care less what it is written in, just that the manual gets written. We can bullshit around with formats later.
