For me is very easy to parse the HTML. Or perhapst here is a "get the contents of this tag from the ouptut of that program". Other ugly idea could be to parse directly the DocBook xml and transform this tag in CDATA (really the html highlighted string). Any way, any answer for my first question? Tomas V.V.Cox
