Documentation in various formats
mandrav:
Nice discussion you got going on here :)
Anyway, I know nothing about documentation and formats, but here's my two cents:
Per, who created our new site (not live yet), has transformed the (inaccurate now :( ) handbook to XML format. He has also provided a couple of XSL templates to transform the XML to HTML.
I believe that this is the way to go, but Per's answer would be more authoritative. He 'll be away for a while but we can ask him when he comes back ;)
Btw, here's the link to this XML file. If only we knew what editor he used...
Yiannis.

I found a tool which generates HTML and PDF from XHTML file, it is "commercial opensource" :? and called htmldoc
But perhaps it is better to wait for Per :)

do you have the stylesheet "text2plainhtml.xsl" somewhere ?
maybe you then can edit it with any xhtml editor

Since this is an OS project, licensed under the same GPL, I think we can apply for GPL as well (not commercial)
Theres always http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c/
Regarding the stylesheets, theres an excellent tool: XML Spy, probably the big daddy of all XML editors; it allows the creation of XSL stylesheets in a WYSIWYG environment, allowing PDF and HTML creation, however, its commercial... but I used the trial version for the project at collegue I talked about.
Theres a free version however, but I dont know how good it is...

Please notice what we need here is the use of some graphical tool, I mean, there are tons of free XML editors (mostly non-xml editors but with an xml plugin or template), that aim for a valid document, but we're looking for some of kind of graphical tool
The quest continues I guess...
