I have a potential customer who is XML conversant and wants me to set up his document. He will provide it in Docbook format apparently. He has not written it yet. My question: Are either of the existing tools stable, reliable and complete enough for me to take on this task? Which is recommended for a one-time project? What do I need from my customer in addition to the base file of the document? I have no interest in becoming an XML guru---I just want to bid on this job if that makes sense or give the customer a no-bid if I am about to step in a swamp. -- John Culleton
