|
|
no, its not. for two reasons
|
|
- (open)jade does not implement all of the things in DSSSL you would need
|
|
- jadetex does not implement all of what openjade produces
|
|
|
|
in some ways the first is more important than the second

i really cannot see why you want to stick with SGML and DSSSL. why not put
|
|
the effort into XSL FO?

|
|
|
|
i dont agree at all
|
|
|
|
a) it perpetuates the writing of "style" in LaTeX
|
|
b) you lose the chance of other backends using the same style code
|
|
c) it makes the whole DSSSL stage fairly redundant
|
|
|
|
i could go on in the same vein for a while if anyone is interested...
