Re: [Xmlunit-general] Documentation

I don't really know LaTeX, so I can't really give a balanced opinion
but my preference would be for docbook.  I think that generally people
are fairly comfortable to XML formats and Docbook is one of the best
established formats and one that's is designed for technical
documents. I'd agree that the standard PDF stylesheets aren't
necessarily the most asthetically pleasing and that creating FO
stylesheets from scratch is a bit of a chore but getting people to
edit the document source is going to be more important than a
beautiful printed document.
