That depends on your requirements, there isn't going to be a very big difference if you are just looking at this from an authoring perspective. If you're evaluating toolchains for different publication requirements then the details could be very important indeed. The DSSSL toolchain still has better support than the XML-FO backend used by XSLT processors. DSSSL can be used with either SGML or XML DocBook documents though. If you are going to be using the FreeBSD Doc Project infrastructure, with its enormous advantage of "just working" out of the box, then I would suggest sticking with SGML. - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
