Thanks! I've pretty much ignored DocBook until now, but this definitly looks 
like something to study for future use (I just took a quick look at 
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/DocBook-Demystification-HOWTO/index.html 
for an introduction). It looks to be a little bit too heavy-weight for this 
particular project, though.

Cheers!
