Reply-to: bob@rattlesnake.com References: From: "Robert J. Chassell" I think you went off in the wrong direction. :) What I meant was that I wouldn't want to have to parse TeXinfo everytime I wanted to load the database. I do not follow. Texinfo is for documents. It sounds to me like you are talking about a readily updatable database. If so, at least one of the output formats should be plain text, for reasons of efficiency, readability, and inputability into other databases that I should to have to argue. Should I write this web editable dictionary ... then I'll probably make some effort to provide the output in every format which the combination of a Perl script and an external utility can provide. (Docbook, HTML, ASCII, TeXInfo, PDF, PS, RTF(?), XML, etc, etc...) Thank you! That is the way to go! -- Robert J. Chassell bob@rattlesnake.com Rattlesnake Enterprises http://www.rattlesnake.com
