How hard is it to convert to multiple e-reader formats including PDF?

That is actually a pretty good point. If our Wiki is good enough in terms of content, we can try and figure out how to automate creating a book. Well, fully automatic would probably be hard - a book would need a bit of layouting. But having all the content on the wiki, then using it for a complementary book - I think that's the way to go.

I completely disagree. You are proposing to create documentation in a completely unstructured format and then writing parsers attempting to create an exchangeable format. It is re-inventing the wheel by starting with a rectangle. We already have all the style-sheets for XML to provide the formats we need (including wiki text). -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org
