Huh, that's funny. I was just thinking about that in the context of this post, as pointed out by Bruce d'Arcus: So it sounds like that XSLT would be one place to start. I have to think, at least with XHTML-basic , that going in and renaming a few of the elements in x-contml would get you a lot of the way there, as well. I have to think that is a worthwhile pre- processor to have in one's arsenal, and I pointed out to the foXet list just the other day. Technically speaking, if that converts to XSL-FO as well as it appears, ConTeXt could well be the back end to it. But to answer your question, no I don't have anything per se. I'm just thinking about it. (And, because of PhD obligations, that's all I'm going to do about it, for the time being!) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
