" and DocBook uses "", for example). This particular package seems to be stale. What transformation are you trying to do? The sgmltools package is a likely candidate for something with conversion utilities, but I haven't tried installing it since before it converted from LinuxDoc to DocBook. Also, I've got a perl utility which does brute-force tag substitution, which I used to help convert Jose Soares' reference pages from plain text to sgml. The utility is quite simpleminded, could be useful for some projects. - Thomas -- Thomas Lockhart lockhart@alumni.caltech.edu South Pasadena, California
