There is no SGML toolchain because SGML has been abandoned as the DocBook markup language. The toolchain that everybody else uses is based on XML DocBook. It has been proposed that we abandon SGML and jump to XML, but the idea has been shot down. And it's possible to convert our SGML to XML automatically and process it with the newer toolchain. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
