Thankyou Dave. XSL-FO and e-book <quirk>Standard</quirk> appear to have no connection. Jon Noring set out some time back to create an ebook standard, and as you say, its now a nightmare of nih variants and proprietary versions. Pity. Even Microsoft seem unable to provide a defacto standard. regards DaveP. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Cramer I do quite a bit of eBook production, using XSL to transform XML files extracted from Quark documents into OEB format (HTML with extras, as Wendell says), and also into one of the Palm formats (XSL output is a text file). The OEB files can be converted into .LIT files for Microsoft Reader for PC using proprietary software from Overdrive. The Palm text files are converted into the final Palm ebook format with another proprietary program from Palm Digital Media (or whatever company bought it last). Since we have Quark files, we create eBook PDFs directly from those without going through XML and XSL-FO. Some people are trying to create an open-source eBook reader (www.openreader.org), based on OEB standards, to avoid the current nightmare of dozens of incompatible eBook formats and readers.
