Unfortunately, I am not using DocBook, I am using Anakia (at the moment, at least - it's convenient for some things, and not so convenient for others, so I might switch to Apache's StyleBook, or only use Anakia for generating the website version of the manual). My intention was to set things up so that several versions of the docs could be generated, e.g. a frames-based HTML similar to the current manual layout, a single-page HTML suitable for printing, a PDF version, and finally a JavaHelp version that could be easily integrated into Antidote (the Ant GUI being developed by Simeon Fitch et al.) or any other GUI. While your offer of assistance is appreciated, I believe I can finish the docs fairly quickly without any assistance. I took up the task of XML-izing the docs because I was unemployed and looking for something to do, but now that I (FINALLY) have a job, and will be starting in a week or two, I have a fire under my butt to finish these docs quickly!

I wouldn't mind doing a one time conversion of the HTML manual to XML, but only if that documentation would be the basis to continue on, otherwise I consider it a waste of time. Since someone is already working on documentation in XML I would like to synchronized with him/her to finish a first draft. Please confirm that it is the DocBook DTD he/she is using for writing the XML documentation.
