I use LinuxDoc from a DEB package. I used find and grep to locate
|
|
the files but that is not optimum.
|
|
|
|
Also online docs are not anoption when I write and that is the
|
|
situation for many others too. I need useful docs on my disk.

My large reply crashed here so I'll rewrite it later. In summary
|
|
I feel we need more tags for our specific needs. SGML is
|
|
scalable and extensible, right?
