This sounds really great. Is this the process? docbook =>(via XSLT)=> svg + html => (modify docs) => convert to svg output helpfile => render helpfile in Inkscape? Then I guess one could also simply load the output svg file into a gtk image and place it into a frame with scrollbars? Obviously static, but great for output display. Is there something like a wiki on this to read? Sidenote: what editor is being used for docbook writing? John

Very nice. It makes it even easier for some of us to contribute to the documentation. Question: what are you going to use to display the html in Inkscape? gtkhtml? mozembed?
No, Inkscape does not display HTML. In Inkscape, tutorials remain in SVG. The only difference is that now, that SVG is generated from the DocBook source, as is HTML.
And wondering if you had any plans to display the images in SVG as opposed to PNG - thinking that maybe mozembed might support SVG with the new SVG rendering in Firefox.
Maybe, but this does not make much sense. The idea of the illustrations is that they are interactive - you can drag or tweak anything in a tutorial. Since HTML loses the interactivity anyway, SVG is not any better for illustrations in HTML than PNG. The HTML is mainly intended for printing or away-from-Inkscape reading.
