Re: [Firebird-docs] DocBook

[David J. <dav...@ea...>]

Hi,

I will try to get some framework set up for us.  This all requires more
experimentation, but it will probably be easier to convert plain text to
xml than rtf to xml.  On the other hand, if we do get the framework on
sourceforge, you could just write the stuff in xml and not worry about the
conversion ( if you got emacs+psgml set up).  Is it easy to go rtf to plain
text? Are there linux rtf editors?

thanks
david jencks
