It works mostly with XML input (ConTeXt will soon, wouldn't it?) The big difference: 3B2 costs 10.000 Euro for the single user license!! The automatable (Perl-Skripts?) Server-Version costs 25-000 Euro. I'm happy with my cheap TeX! ;-) (To be fair: 3B2 is made for very high performance, needed by big newspapers etc.) Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://angerweit.tikon.ch/lieder/ http://www.planet-interkom.de/fiee.visuelle/formelsammlung.html
