Hi Alex,

I think it would be a very good thing for compatibility with the texi tools to be considered.

It would be nice to be able to use one doclet to produce texi, and then texi2html and texi2pdf for the common web formats of the same document.

Thanks for the info, will try and update our pages in the
not-too-distant future.  DVI/Postcript was never the primary target
for TexiDoclet, since there are other doclets out there for that
purpose (e.g. the LaTeX doclet, there's a link from Sun's Javadoc FAQ
page), so it doesn't surprise me that there may be problems with the
DVI end of things.

For print output the new XML version of the gjdoc is a possibility,
since it would be possible to generate DocBook from the XML output,
and from DocBook, you can use Norm Walsh's XSL-FO or DSSSL stylesheets
to generate PDF, Postscript or RTF (http://docbook.sf.net).   Also
texidoclet maybe rewritten to use gjdoc directly at some stage,
although nothing has been finalized.

There is also a direct-to-Docbook doclet somewhere about (don't know
the URL off the top of my head, just Google "doclet", "Docbook" and
"Java")

Good luck.

Alex
