Hi, I'm Hiroyuki Hanai and I'm new in these mailing lists. I'm working on the translation of FreeBSD documents into Japnese. > instant: A new tool for manipulating SGML document instances. > This is the core of the new doc conversion and useful for > a variety of tasks dealing with SGML documents.

Uncompressed source is about 32K I've not been heard about `instant' and I'm wondering whether it can handle Japanese character or not. So, I want to use your new tools on our Japanese documents. > Docbook: Ultimately the FAQ, handbook and future documentation > will use this DTD which is well supported and widely used > in the software industry.

I don't want to use linuxdoc and I think it's fine to use one of widely used DTDs. But, Docbook seems a little bit complicated for me. It is almost caos ;-) Is there any possiblity to define our DTD as a subset of Docbook? Anyway, I wanna try to use your new tools. Is it available for me? -----H.Hanai
