thats true we use htmldoc from HTML-sources and
docbook, where there is an Interface on the Plone. So Poeple who
writes XML/Docbook could use the server to render PDFs and HTML.
anyhow there is just an XML-Parser, wich also handles OpenOffice
Documents as XML-Source, but I think many people just write
structered text or html or tex, which I want to be supported, anyhow I
have to test these. (We need this for our Lessons).
