Hi Landon, and all-

Thanks for your energy, ideas and efforts Landon.

I may not be fully following the thread, but the Docbook procedure that my
colleagues Sasha Stepanov, Maili Page along with Ned Horning developed back in
Jan/Feb actually produced content in both pdf and HTML format. The HTML for our
tutorials are also uploaded in our Subversion system, although I can't get them
to be rendered in my browser properly (Sasha, do you know why)?

See for example our module 1:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/education/Releases/UMass/IntroductionToGisUsingQgisV0.8/M1-Exercise-QGISOverview/HTML

Should we send the document Sasha and Maili wrote on this to you Landon to see
if that makes your work easier somehow?

I'm going to send a second email related to this whole issue of content format
in a second, that raises some further questions.

Charlie
