I just want something I can dump several documents (possibly in different formats), to build a central library. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jared.williams/php5/ss.png It takes complete documents using DOM to substitue all the entities, and splits it into chunks based on its doctype. (All docs in the screenshot are docbook, except for the mysql documentation which is TexInfoML.) The for actual presenting HTML, the chunk is simple transformed with a XSLT, again based on the original doctype, when requested, and possibly cached. Jared
