Totally agree and altough I really want to learn TeX I can not afford it write now as I can now write faster with Docbook using Emacs+psgml, that does not mean I have grasped everyhing with Docbook yet better then my TeX ,(to get Fop do the hyphenation I had to get the Turkish hyphenation from the TeX module) For some people out in the wild we have to learn the tool and find a way to get it accept our langauge also since taht part seems always missing. Double edge sword , you know it can do it yet it cannot since support for the language is missing. Just to give an example inorder to have basic spelling checking capability I had to create the dictionary ,there is no ispell-turkish and since the affix compression means lots of work I turned to Aspell and now have a basic dictionary of roughly 100.000 words. The milegae varies yet it is available with MS Word and I choose to use a better OS and a better editor. Just my 24.000 Turkish liras -- Togan Muftuoglu
