Re: [Wigwam-devel] wigwam documentation format suggestions?

[John F. <fe...@dd...>]

well, 

I don't know if the tools are harder to get or install, 
but they seem to be seperated into different tools for print or html:

http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/xsl/doc/publishing.html


I'm going to try out sablotron because that's what yozhik uses (I think).
He even packaged it for wigwam. 

we'll see where I get from there. I'm currently going to mess with xml/xsl
docbook for some other projects, before I think about changeing the way
wigwam is working.
