Actually, transformation is not a problem--I've basically been using TEI for several years now in combination with XSLT, which provides more of the specific kinds of tags needed for classical literary documents than Docbook. I understand the point of your suggestion though. > We are not using searching in the manual I maintain using docbook, so I am > not so familiar with it but I know htmlhelp (one format for windows you > can generate from docbook xml) offers it OR there is javahelp (again > outputtable from docbook.xml) which offers searching too. But neither of > which may be quite what you are looking for. The main problem with HTMLhelp (besides its Windows-centrism) is that it still doesn't allow for compilation of utf-8 encoded material in its indexes. My stuff is multilingual to a degree that I can't go with national code systems such as JIS and Big5. > One possibility would be to then go > with a java applet which could be distributed along with the html archive > and search the index which docbook would create if you tag it > correctly.

Thanks much for the feedback.
