Humm, personally I just keep report-smpng.xml on my laptop and for each report I just update the contents of the paragraph (xemacs does fine syntax highlighting on it btw, not that it really matters) and then: mail -s 'SMPng report' robert+blah@cyrus.watson.org < report-smpng.xml You don't have to know XML to know how to do this. Once you've filled out the headers for a Project (once) you can just modify the paragraph contents, which look the same (same tags, etc.) as paragraphs in HTML. Perhaps I'm biased since I started out life as a doc/ person though. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
